Obstacles not detected
■
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals,
bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly
■
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:
●
On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
●
If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an inter-
section
●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtak-
ing
●
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●
When your vehicle is skidding with the VSC system off
●
When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment
Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
■
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in
the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be
automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there
is a collision possibility.
When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is tempo-
■
rarily unusable
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. (P. 538, 550)
