ÿAutomatic release of the
system When an abnormality is detected in the system or when the sensor cannot detect an
obstacle (sensor is dirty, etc.), the system operation is automatically released. In such cases,
even if there is a possibility of collision, the system will not work effectively.
ÿ When there is an abnormality in the system or the system is temporarily unusable

caveat
ÿ For safe use
Drivers are responsible for driving safely. Always be aware of your surroundings and try to
drive safely. Never
use the pre-collision safety system as a substitute for routine braking. This system does
not avoid or reduce collisions in all situations. Relying on the system or relying on safety
while driving may lead to an unexpected accident, which may result in serious injury or, in
the worst case, death. This system is designed to help avoid collisions or reduce the
damage
caused by collisions, but its effectiveness depends on various conditions (ÿ P. 369).
Therefore, the same performance cannot always be achieved. Also, the pre-collision brake
may not operate depending on the driver's operation status. If the driver is stepping on the
brake pedal or operating the steering wheel, depending on the operation state, it may be
judged as an evasive operation by the driver and the automatic brake may not operate.
