■
Situations in which the system may not operate properly
●
In certain situations, such as the following, a detectable object may not be detected by
the front sensors, and the system may not operate properly:
When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
•
When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
•
•
When a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving,
acceleration or deceleration)
•
When suddenly approaching a detectable object
When the detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover, steel
•
plate on the road surface, or another vehicle
When there is a structure above a detectable object
•
•
When part of a detectable object is hidden by another object (large luggage,
umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
•
When multiple detectable objects are overlapping
•
When a bright light, such as the sun, is reflecting off of a detectable object
When a detectable object is white and looks extremely bright
•
When the color or brightness of a detectable object causes it to blend in with its
•
surroundings
•
When a detectable object cuts in front of or suddenly emerges in front of your
vehicle
•
When approaching a vehicle which is diagonal
If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicycle, is carrying a large load, is carrying an extra
•
passenger, or has an unusual shape (bicycles equipped with a child seat, tandem

If a pedestrian or bicycle is shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller than
•
approximately 6.5 ft. (2 m).
•
When the silhouette of a pedestrian or bicycle is unclear (such as when they are
wearing a raincoat, long skirt, etc.)
•
When a pedestrian or bicycle is bending forward or squatting
•
When a pedestrian or bicycle is moving at high speed
When a pedestrian is pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle
•
•
When a detectable object blends in with the surrounding area, such as when it is
dim (at dawn or dusk) or dark (at night or in a tunnel)
•
When the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time after the hybrid
system was started
•
While turning left/right or a few seconds after turning left/right
