WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to
observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is designed to
provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in
some situations.
●The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle com-
pletely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to
depress the brake pedal immediately as brak e control will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds.
■To ensure the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precauti ons regarding the sensors (P. 345). Failure to do so
may cause a sensor to not operate pr operly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precaution s regarding the radar sensors (P. 322). Failure to
do so may cause a radar sensor to not op erate properly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the radar sensors, and alwa ys keep the radar sensors and their sur-
rounding area on the bumper clean.
■Handling the suspension
