Pre-Collision Throttle Management
50
îîContinued from previous page
x Do not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there
are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.
x If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
x Pre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
-The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
-Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
; Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
; When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
; When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
; In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
; With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
; When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo camerasL recognition capability
; With small animals or children.
; With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
; When the rear aspect of the vehicle or object in front is small (for exam-
ple a trailer) or when your vehicle is too close to it (the system may rec-
ognize another part of the vehicle as its rear end, and may not operate
properly)
; When an obstacle (another vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian,
animal or child, etc.) cuts in from the side or jumps out suddenly
; When starting, if you change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind the obstacle
; When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight high beams, etc.)
; When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
; When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
; When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo cam-
erasL field of view
; When the stereo camerasL field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
; When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
; On sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill grades
