WARNING
•
The camera has the same limitations
as the human eye. In other words, its
"vision is impaired" by adverse
weather conditions such as heavy
snowfall, dense fog, etc. These condi-
tions may reduce the function of sys-
tems that depend on the camera or
cause these systems to temporarily
stop functioning.
•
Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the cam-
era. This could reduce or block the
camera's function, and could cause
one or more of the systems that utilize
the camera to stop functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically
reduce the camera's capacity to
detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian,
a cyclist or another vehicle.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake*
Pedestrian detection
The system cannot identify all pedestrians
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake system can only identify and
detect a pedestrian who is standing upright.
This person can be standing still, walking or
running.
This means that the system has to be able to
identify a person's head, arms, shoulders,
legs, the upper and lower parts of the body
and a person's pattern of movement when
walking or running.
If parts of the body are not visible to the cam-
era, the system cannot detect the pedestrian.
The following conditions apply:
•
In order to detect a pedestrian, the sys-
tem must have a full view of the person's
04 Driver support
entire body and the person must be at
least 32 in. (80 cm) tall.
•
The system cannot detect a pedestrian
carrying a large object.
•
The camera's capacity to see a pedes-
trian at dawn or dusk is limited, much as
it is for the human eye.
•
The camera's function is deactivated and
will not detect a pedestrian in darkness or
in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in
the area.
WARNING
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with
Full Auto Brake is designed to be a
supplementary driving aid. It is not,
however, intended to replace the driv-
er's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for operat-
ing the vehicle in a safe manner.
•
The system cannot detect all pedes-
trians in all situations, such as in dark-
ness/at night and cannot detect parti-
ally hidden pedestrians, people who
are less than approx. 32 in. (80 cm)
tall, or people wearing clothing that
obscures the contours of their bodies.
