WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
Do not overly rely on the system,
as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the
safety of the surroundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to observe your surroundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
● The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle completely. Additionally,
even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intentionally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc.
Never attempt such actions.
■ When to disable the Parking Support Brake
In the following situations, disable the Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the
carried load
●When equipment such as a towing hook, transport hook, bumper protector, bumper trim,
bicycle carrier or snow-removal device( snow plow) is installed near the sensor
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tire chains, a compact
spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used.
●When towing with the vehicle
■ Precautions for the suspension
Do not modify the suspension of the vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehicle is changed, the sensors may not be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident.
