If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Refer to page 67.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo
cameras' field of view
When the stereo cameras' field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras' recognition capability
With small animals or children.
With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
When the rear portion
nearest your vehicle is
too small or too close
(such as a trailer or
oncoming vehicle) the
system may not recog-
nize the part of that
vehicle which is closest
to you.
