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 your vehicle, such as at an intersection
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
If the vehicle is skidding when VSC is not operating
When your vehicle is steeply inclined
When only part of your vehicle' s front end collides with, or contacts, a vehicle or object
in a frontal collision
When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being subjected
to a strong impact
When an obstacle suddenly appears in front of the vehicle due to the steering wheel
being turned sharply or another cause

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 temporarily unusable

The pre-collision system warning light will flash and warning messages will be displayed.
