RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Always check surroundings and turn tocheck what is behind you before backing
up. The radar sensors detect approaching
(moving) vehicles. The radar sensors can-
not detect every object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ap- proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration
A: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration
B: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.

5-78Starting and driving

∙ In some road or traffic conditions, a ve-hicle or object can unexpectedly come
into the sensor detection zone and cause
automatic braking. Always stay alert and
avoid using the ICC system where not
recommended in this warning section.
The ICC system will not detect the following
objects: ∙ Stationary or slow moving vehicles
∙ Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
∙ Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
∙ Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly: ∙ When the sensor detection is reduced (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
∙ Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves
∙ Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road ∙ If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cov-
ering the radar sensor area
∙ A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is
near the vehicle ahead.
∙ Interference by other radar sources
∙ When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
∙ When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the radar sensor’s operation within the
limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detec-
tion zone for the ICC system to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead. A
vehicle ahead may move outside of the de-
tection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
traveling offset from the center line of the
lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane. If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime. The driver may have to manually
control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The following
are some conditions in which the camera may
not properly detect a vehicle and detection of
a vehicle ahead may be delayed:
∙ Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)
∙ The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
∙ Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters
the front camera
∙ A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning
flashes)
5-124Starting and driving

NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the steering wheel and a sequence
of warnings may occur. When the driver
holds and operates the steering wheel again,
the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
∙In the following situations, the camera may
not detect lane markers correctly or may
detect lane markers incorrectly and the
Steering Assist may not operate properly:
– When driving on roads where thereare multiple parallel lane markers, lane
markers that are faded or not painted
clearly, nonstandard lane markers, or
lane markers covered with water, dirt,
snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with discontin- ued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a widen- ing or narrowing lane width
– When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction – When driving on roads where there
are sharply contrasting objects, such
as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining after road
repairs (the Steering Assist could de-
tect these items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or separates
∙ Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system
may not properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown up by the wheels of other vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or an- other object adheres to the camera
unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is foggy
– When strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) shines on the camera – When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or separates or
where there are temporary lane mark-
ers because of road construction
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs
– When driving on a bumpy road sur- face, such as an uneven dirt road
– When driving on sharp curves or wind- ing roads
– When driving on repeated uphill and downhill roads
∙ Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system
will not operate properly:

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-tem cannot detect all vehicles or pedes-
trians under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor FEB with Pedestrian Detection system does not detect the
following objects:
– Small pedestrians (including small children), animals and cyclists.
– Pedestrians in wheelchairs or using mobile transport such as scooters,
child-operated toys, or skateboards.
– Pedestrians who are seated or other- wise not in a full upright standing or
walking position.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles – Obstacles on the roadside
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem has some performance limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the FEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– For pedestrian detection, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system will
not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h) or below approximately
6 mph (10km/h).
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem will not function for pedestrians in
darkness or in tunnels, even if there is
street lighting in the area.
∙ For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system will not issue the first
warning and will not push the accelerator
pedal up.
∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem may not function if the vehicle ahead
is narrow (for example, a motorcycle). ∙ The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may not function if speed difference
between the two vehicles is too small.
∙ The radar sensor FEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function prop-
erly or detect a vehicle ahead in the fol-
lowing conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms,
and road spray from other vehicles).
– Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– The camera area of the windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles)
enters the front camera. Strong light
causes the area around the pedestrian
to be cast in a shadow, making it diffi-
cult to see.
