w WARNING
• Do not rely on the Pedal
Misoperation Control as it does not
avoid collision. When starting the
vehicle, check the position of shift
lever, pedal and its surrounding
situation. Excessive trust in the
function leads to an unexpected
accidents, which can lead to
serious injury or in the worst case
leading to death.
• The Pedal Misoperation Control
does not keep stop state.
• The Pedal Misoperation Control
does not suppress the start
acceleration in all circumstances.
• The Pedal Misoperation Control
operates only when front obstacles
is recognized. In the state where
obstacles such as cliffs cannot be
recognized, the function does not
operate.
• Do not deliberately step excessively
on the accelerator pedal near the
obstacles. Relying on the function
to adjust the accelerator may leads
to a collision accident.
• In the unlikely event, when the
vehicle is trapped inside the railroad
crossing, Pedal Misoperation
Control operates if the stereo
camera recognizes the crossbar
as an obstacle. When pushing out
the crossbar to escape, continue
stepping on the accelerator pedal
without panic or turn off the ASA
system. (See “ASA OFF switch” in
section 4)
• When the driver is operating the
steering wheel, the system may
judge it as a driver’s avoidance
operation depending on the
operation state and this function
does not work in some cases.
• Pedal Misoperation Control does
not operate when TRC or VSC&TRC
is turned OFF.
• The operation will cancel when keep
stepping on the accelerator pedal
for more than about 8 seconds
during engine output suppression.
If you step on the accelerator pedal
fully and quickly more than 3 times,
Pedal Misoperation Control will not
operate.
Inactivity situation
Following cases may result into the Pedal
Misoperation Control may not operate.
1. Vehicle speed difference from the
preceding vehicle, distance between
vehicles, state of approach and deviation
in lateral direction. (such as not being in
the front of own vehicle)
2. State of the vehicle (loading capacity,
crew and others)
3. The state of the road surface (gradient,
slipperiness, shape, unevenness,etc)
4. When judging that the driver has taken
avoidance operation from the driver’s
operating state (accelerator, brake,
steering wheel, etc.)
5. Vehicle maintenance status (brake, wear
of tires, air pressure tires, spare tire, etc.)
6. Sudden interruption such as when
vehicles or motorcycles jump in.
7. Immediately after starting the engine.
8. When the stereo camera is difficult to
recognize especially in these conditions:
• When there is a bad weather (torrential
rain, thick fog, etc.) and the front visibility
is bad.
