Pre-Collision Braking System
� Continued from previous page
- Recognition conditions of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not activate
in the following cases.
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the wind, or
the front vision is obscured due to water splashes, snow, dirt or dust stir
up generated by the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic.
• At night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
• At night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does not have
its taillights on
• Approaching a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian at night
• Ambient light is poor in the evening or early morning.
• A vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian is outside the area illuminated
by the headlights.
• Strong light is coming from the front (for example, sunlight at dawn, sunset
or headlight beams, etc.).
• The windshield has become fogged, scratched, or snow, dirt, dust or frost
has adhered to it, or it is otherwise affected.
• Fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after washer
use.
• The target cannot be correctly recognized because the stereo camera’s
view is obstructed by water droplets from rain or the window washer, or
by the wiper blades.
• The stereo camera’s field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe
on the roof of the vehicle).
• The rear aspect of the
vehicle in front is low,
small or irregular (the system
may recognize
another part of the vehicle
as its rear and will determine
operation from that).
- There is an empty truck
or trailer with no rear
and/or side panels on
the cargo bed.
- Vehicles that have cargo
S02133
protruding from their
back ends
- Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles with a
sidecar fitted, etc.)
- The height of the vehicle is low, etc.
