• When the wheels are misaligned
• When a wiper blade is blocking a camera
• When driving at extremely high speeds
• When driving on a slope
• When a sensor is misaligned
• When the headlights are misaligned
• When a sensor is being cleaned and a
few seconds after a sensor is cleaned
• When the reflectors on a detectable
object are not visible or are dirty
• When the windshield is dirty
• If a detectable object is deformed (vehi-
cles which have been in a collision, etc.)
• When a white lane line cannot be
detected, such as when it is worn or dirty,
or being obscured by shadow, fog, or rain
●
In certain situations, such as the following,
sufficient braking force may not be
obtained, and the system may not oper-
ate properly:
• When braking performance is insufficient
(the brake parts are extremely hot, cold,
wet, etc.)
• When the vehicle has not been properly
maintained (brake parts or tires are worn
out, tire pressure is low, etc.).
• When driving on a slick road surface
Operation of other systems
■
When the emergency support brake oper-
ates, the PCS (Pre-Collision System) may
also operate. Refer to "PCS (Pre-Collision
System)" in the "OWNER'S MANUAL".

WARNING
For safe use

Driving safely is the sole responsibility
●
of the driver. Do not overly rely on this
system, and pay careful attention to the
surrounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
• Never use the emergency support
brake in place of normal braking oper-
ations. The emergency support brake
cannot help avoid a collision or reduce
the impact of a collision in every situa-
tion. Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
• Although the emergency support
brake is designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help reduce the impact of a col-
lision, its effectiveness may change
according to various conditions.
Therefore, it may not always be able to
achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following items carefully. Do
not overly rely on the emergency sup-
port brake and always drive carefully.
Situations in which the emergency sup-
port brake may operate even though the
possibility of a collision is not high:
Situations in which the emergency sup-
port brake may not operate properly:

• Do not attempt to test the operation of
the emergency support brake.
Depending on the object used to test
the system (such as a cardboard prop
representing a detectable object, etc.)
or situation, the emergency support
brake may not operate properly, possi-
bly leading to an accident.
When the emergency support brake
●
operates, a large amount of braking
force will be generated.
