ing condition or modification
– Ice, snow or mud is adhered
to the rear bumper near the
sonar sensor
– The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear
bumper is deformed
. On a steep hill, the system’s
automatic braking ability will be
reduced.
. The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard
braking when the vehicle’s rever-
sing speed is less than approxi-
mately 3 mph (5 km/h). However,
the system does not guarantee
that the vehicle will be able to
avoid collisions in any situation.
. If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the dri-
ver’s operation may be priori-
tized. In this case, automatic
braking will not operate.
. The system may not be able to
detect the following objects
– Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which
may not reflect the sound
wave emitted from the sonar
sensor
– Objects that are too close to
the rear bumper when the
select lever is set to the “R”
position
– Objects with a surface which
may not reflect the sound
wave emitted from the sonar
sensor such as a chain link
fence
. Objects the system is not de-
signed to detect
– Pedestrians
– Moving objects including
moving vehicles
– Objects which absorbs sound
waves such as cloth or snow
– Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle
– Objects that are low to the
ground such as parking
blocks
– Objects that are high above
the ground such as objects
hanging from above
. When reversing the vehicle, the
system may not be able to prop-
erly detect objects or may cause
a system malfunction if the fol-
lowing conditions exist
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby
– Horn sound from another ve-
hicle
– Engine sound from other ve-
hicles
– Sound of an air brake
– Vehicle detection equipm ent
or a sonar from another vehi-
cle
– A sound wave with a fre-
quency similar to the vehicle’s
system is transmitted near by
– A vehicle equipped with the
same system is reversing to-
ward your reversing direction
Weather conditions
– Extremely high or extremely
low temperatures in which the
area near the sonar sensor
becomes too hot or too cold
to operate
– The rear bumper near the
sonar sensors are exposed
to heavy rain or a significant
amount of water
–
Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
– Air
is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing
