■ Situations in which the system may not operate properly
● In certain situations, such as the following, a detectable object may not be detected by
the front sensors, and the system may not operate properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerving,
acceleration or deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
•
When the detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover, steel
plate on the road surface, or another vehicle
•
When there is a structure above a detectable object
•
When part of a detectable object is hidden by another object (large luggage,
umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
•
When multiple detectable objects are overlapping
•
When a bright light, such as the sun, is reflecting off of a detectable object
•
When a detectable object is white and looks extremely bright
•
When the color or brightness of a detectable object causes it to blend in with its
surroundings
• When a detectable object cuts in front of or suddenly emerges in front of your
vehicle
• When approaching a vehicle which is diagonal
• If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicycle, is carrying a large load, is carrying an extra
passenger, or has an unusual shape (bicycles equipped with a child seat, tandem
bicycles, etc.)
• If a pedestrian or bicycle is shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller than
approximately 6.5 ft. (2 m).
• When the silhouette of a pedestrian or bicycle is unclear (such as when they are
wearing a raincoat, long skirt, etc.)
• When a pedestrian or bicycle is bending forward or squatting
• When a pedestrian or bicycle is moving at high speed
• When a pedestrian is pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle
• When a detectable object blends in with the surrounding area, such as when it is
dim (at dawn or dusk) or dark (at night or in a tunnel)
• When the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time after the engine
was started
•
