Pre-Collision Braking System
Continued from previous page
•• When the vehicle in front suddenly swerves, accelerates, or deceler-
ates.
•• When there is a vehicle, motorbike, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
extremely close to your vehicle
•• When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’' field of vision.)
•• When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in from the side
or jumps out suddenly
•• When you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
•• When affected by strong light from the front (for example, sunlight at
dawn, sunset or headlight high 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
washer use
•• When the target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo
cameras’' view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window
washer, or by the wiper blades.
- When the stereo cameras’' field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
- When a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area illu-
minated by the headlights
- When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
- When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
- When passing through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
l
- When the detected object
is a fence or wall, etc. with
a uniform
striped pattern or brick
pattern, etc.)
- When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
