Pre-Collision Braking System
• When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following figure * 1 or more , it may not be possible to avoid a collision . Even if the speed difference is the following figure * 1 or less , in cases such as when another vehicle cuts in front of you , or in other cases depending on visibility , the condition of road surface and other factors * 2 , the function may be unable to stop the vehicle or may not activate . Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate depending on the conditions * 2 listed below .
* 1 : For vehicles : approximately 30 mph ( 50 km / h ), For pedestrians : approximately 21 mph ( 35 km / h )
* 2 : Conditions in which Pre-Collision Braking System cannot detect obstacles : - Distance to obstacle in front of you , speed difference , proximity conditions , lateral displacement ( the amount of offset ) - Vehicle conditions ( amount of load , number of occupants , etc .) - Road conditions ( grade , slipperiness , shape , bumps , etc .) - Visibility ahead is poor ( rain , snow , fog or smoke , etc .). - The detected object is something other than a vehicle , motorcycle , bicycle or pedestrian .
• A domestic animal or other animal ( a dog or deer , etc .)
• A guardrail , telephone pole , tree , fence or wall , etc .
- Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle , bicycle or pedestrian , depending on the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement , and aspect or angle of the object , 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 .)
