Driving
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the travelling
direction of the vehicle and the system determines that a collision
may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an
accidental accelerator pedal operation, the vehicle moving the unin-
tended direction due to the wrong shift position, or while parking or
traveling at low speeds, the system will operate to lessen the impact
with the detected static object and reduce the resulting damage.
The system operates in the following situations when a static object
is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■ When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late
■ When the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively
