Driving your vehicle
Limitations of the System
The Autonomous Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driver
that a collision is imminent, and if nec-
essary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the AEB sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
AEB operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar sensor or camera is
blocked with a foreign object or
debris.
- Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or cam-
era.
- There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor.
- The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.).
- The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.).
- The driver's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of
view).
- The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned
ON.
- The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel.
- The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically.
- The vehicle drives through a con-
struction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials,
such as a railway.
- The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parking
lot.
