The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disco nnected and reconnected and then the vehicle
has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift position is in R
●When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning function will
be operational)
■Object detection function
The system detects ob jects based on their
size, profile, motion, etc. However, an object
may not be detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion, pos-
ture, and angle of the detected object,
preventing the system from operating prop-
erly. ( P.228)
The illustration shows an image of detect-
able objects.
■Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the
pre-collision braking function is operating, it
will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply or
abruptly.
■Conditions under which the system may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
●In some situations such as the following,
the system may determine that there is a
possibility of a frontal collision and oper- ate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while overtaking a detectable object, etc.

drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of
attention that must be paid to the area in
front of the vehicle. The driver must
always assume full responsibility for driv-
ing safely by paying careful attention to
the surrounding conditions and operat-
ing the steering wheel to correct the path
of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take
adequate breaks when fatigued, such as
from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving
operations and pay careful attention may
lead to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
