Situations in which the pre-crash safety 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 inter-
section
●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtak-
ing
●
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
■
Automatic cancelation of Pre-crash safety system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contaminations, etc. that results in
the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-crash safety system
will be automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even
if there is a collision possibility.
■
Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, ani-
mals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■
When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. (→P. 553)
