■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles
are in front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning (P. 480) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious
accident may result.
● The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, which means that the
placement of the reflectors is in a higher position.
● The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty.
● The vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you are flinging up water or
snow.
● Excessive exhaust gas (black smoke) is coming from the vehicle ahead or
other vehicles around you, obscuring your front view.
● There is an obstruction (protective film, sticker, etc.) on the reflectors on
the vehicle ahead, or reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead or
are damaged.
● Heavy luggage in the luggage compartment or rear seats is causing the
nose of your vehicle to tilt up.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
