When the sensor becomes extremely hot
or cold.
•
If the battery becomes weak or runs

The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
•
It the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 1 m or taller than approximately
2 m.
•
If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fitting
clothes.
•
If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,
such as when holding an umbrella, large
bag, etc.
CAUTION
•
If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lies
on the road.
•
When a pedestrian is pushing/pulling
something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.
•
When pedestrians gather in a group.
•
When a pedestrian’s clothing appears to
be nearly the same colour or brightness as
its surroundings.
•
When a pedestrian is very close to an ob-
ject, such as a vehicle.
•
When a pedestrian is in a dark area, such
as at night or in a tunnel.
•
When the pedestrian is walking fast or
running.
•
When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in
front of the vehicle.
•
When the position of a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.
l
Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l
When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid a collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.
l
The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
