FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETEC-
TION 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 limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrian under all conditions.
.The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system does not de-
tect 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
otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
— Oncoming vehicles— Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system has some performance limita-
tions.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will not
function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 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
system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
.For pedestrians, the FEB with pedes-
trian detection system will not issue
the first warning and will not push
the accelerator pedal up.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if the vehi-
cle ahead is narrow (for example amotorcycle).
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small.
.The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system may not func-
tion properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following 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 windshield is
fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from oncom-
ing vehicles) enters the front
camera. Strong light causes the
area around the pedestrian to be
Starting and driving5-107

5-108Starting and driving
cast in a shadow, making it diffi-
cult to see.
— A sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes.)
— The poor contrast of a person to
the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing luggage, wearing bulky or very
loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories.
.The system performance may de-
grade in the following conditions:
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
trunk of your vehicle.
.The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor (radar and
camera)’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not
detect blockage of sensor areas cov-ered by ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear sensor areas regularly.
.In some road and traffic conditions,
the FEB with pedestrian detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may operate when the fol-
lowing are similar to the outlines of
vehicles or pedestrians, or if they are
the same size and position as a
vehicle’s tail lights.
— Paint or a pattern on the road or
a wall (including faded and unu-
sual road markings).
— A shape formed by road struc-
tures ahead (such as tunnels,
viaducts, traffic signs, reflectors
installed on the side of vehicles,
reflection sheets, and guardrails).
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may react to:
— Obstacles on the roadside (traffic
sign, guardrail, pedestrian, vehi-
cle, etc.)
— Obstacles above road (low
bridge, traffic sign, etc.)
— Obstacles on the road surface
(railroad track, grate, steel plate,
etc.)
— Obstacles in the parking garage
(beam, etc.)
— Pedestrians approaching the tra-
veling lane
— Vehicles, pedestrians or objects in
adjacent lane or close to the
vehicle
— Oncoming pedestrians
.Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.

.Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the FEB
with pedestrian detection system to work
inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering man-
euver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the system
may warn you by blinking the system
indicator and sounding the chime unexpect-
edly. You will have to manually control the
proper distance away from the vehicletraveling ahead.
