WARNING
 Under certain circumstances, the system
may not operate or may not detect cor-
rectly an object in front or behind the
vehicle. When your vehicle is approaching
the object too closely, take all necessary
actions to avoid a collision, such as brak-
ing and steering, regardless of whether the
Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System is activated or not.
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System is not designed to detect a pedes-
trian or bicycle.
 When propulsion power is immediately
required while the Ultrasonic misaccelera-
tion Mitigation System is activated, take
one of the following actions.
• Release the foot from the accelerator
pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.
• Press and hold the Forward collision mit-
igation system (FCM) and Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation
ON/OFF switch for three seconds or
more to turn off the Ultrasonic misaccel-
eration Mitigation System.
• Keep depressing the accelerator pedal
for 5 seconds or more.
• Fully depress and release the accelerator
pedal three times or more in quick suc-
cession.
 Never attempt to test the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System. Doing
so could result in an accident.
WARNING
 While the Active Stability Control system
(ASC) is turned off by operating the ASC
OFF switch, the Ultrasonic misaccelera-
tion Mitigation System does not operate.
Refer to "ASC OFF switch" on page
5-101.
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System may not operate in certain situa-
tions. Some of these include:
• The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand.
• The stickers or accessories have been
attached to the sensors or surroundings.
• When the ambient temperature is rap-
idly changing. For example, immediately
after the vehicle has exited from a tunnel
or a garage.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
strong winds, snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When approaching an obstacle too
System
closely.
• When another vehicle is crossing just in
front of or behind your vehicle.
• When your vehicle is closely approaching
an obstacle while changing its path.
• When only a part of an obstacle is
detected.
• When rain, snow, water or dirt adheres
to the ultrasonic sensor or surrounding
area.
Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (if so equipped)
WARNING
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold
(after the vehicle has been parked for a
prolonged time under a blazing sun or in
cold weather).
• Immediately after the engine switch is
turned on.
• When driving on a curve.
• When driving on a road with steep and
alternating up and down slopes.
• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.
• When the system recognizes driver's
steering, accelerating, braking or gear
shifting actions as evasive actions to
avoid a collision.
• Immediately after the system has judged
that the accelerator pedal has repeatedly
been depressed and released within a few
seconds.
• When the vehicle body is extremely
inclined due to heavy loads on the vehicle
or improper adjustment of the tire pres-
sure.
• When the systems is affected by nearby
ultrasonic noise, such as honking from
other vehicles or sound from motorcycle
engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain,
splashing water or tire chains.
• When an obstacle does not stand verti-
cally on the ground, an object does not
face the vehicle with a right angle or the
surface of an object is uneven or wavy.
• When a vehicle ahead or behind is a
trailer.
