Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Do not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.
• If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo camera may recognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and the Pre-Collision Throttle Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision Throttle Management system.

• Pre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the following conditions:- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference, and horizontal offset- Recognition status of the stereo camera
In particular, the function 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.
• In a dark area( indoor parking area, etc.)
• There is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the headlights.
• Strong light is coming from the front( for example sunlight at sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.).
• The stereo camera’ s field of view is obstructed by fogging, snow, dirt, frost, dust, scratches, or smears on the windshield, or by light reflecting off the dirt, etc.
• Fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after washer use.
• Obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo camera’ s field of view.
• The stereo camera’ s field of view is obstructed( for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle).
• With low obstacles( low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• The size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations of the stereo camera’ s recognition capability.- With small animals or children- With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
