4-5. Using the driving support systems
Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a collision
■
When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
●
When driving over a narrow iron bridge
●
When there is a metal object on the road surface
●
When driving on an uneven road surface (nose up, nose down)
●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn
●
When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
●
When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure appears to be
●
directly in the vehicle' s line of travel
When the steep angle of the road causes a metal object located beneath the road sur-
●
face to be seen ahead of the vehicle
When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment
●
When passing through certain toll gates
●
When passing through an overpass
●
When passing through a tunnel
●
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility
that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be applied with a force greater
than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
Obstacles not detected
■
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may also be occa-
sions 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 vehicle, such as at an intersection
●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of vehicle, such as when overtaking
●
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
●
