Pre-Collision Braking System
• If the speed of your vehicle and the identified object is outside the activation range, a collision cannot be avoided. Even if the speed is within the activation range, if an identified object suddenly cuts in front of you or due to differing conditions * such as the road environment, the condition of front bumper, road slipperiness, the vehicle might not be able to stop or the system might not activate. The front radar sensors are mounted on each side of the front bumper, which makes their field of view different from the driver’ s. As a result, depending on the surrounding conditions( obstructions such as curbs, guardrails, fences, etc.), there may be cases where the driver can recognize an identified object that is approaching, but the front radar sensors cannot and therefore cannot activate driving control. *: Conditions- Distance to, speed difference with, or proximity conditions with the identified object- Vehicle conditions( amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)- Road conditions( grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)- Front visibility is poor( rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.).- Something other than an identifiable object is detected.
• A domestic animal or other animal( a dog or deer, etc.)
• A pedestrian or cyclist
• A guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
- Even if the obstacle is an identifiable object, depending on its relative movement and the direction it is facing, there may be cases when the system cannot detect it.
- The system determines that operation by the driver( based on accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is intended as evasive action.
- Vehicle maintenance status( brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure, whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)- A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.- The brakes are cold due to the outside temperature being low or just after starting the engine.- The brakes are overheated on downhill grades( braking performance is reduced).- In rain or after washing the vehicle( the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced.)
