The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in
certain situations. Some of these include:
• If the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 3.2 feet (1 m) or taller than
approximately 6.5 feet (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.
• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lies
on the road.

something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.

as at night or in a tunnel.
• When a 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.
When the system recognizes driver’s
steering or accelerating actions as evasive
actions to avoid a collision, FCM control
and alarm functions may be canceled.
In certain situations, though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the FCM may
activate. Examples include:
