Pre-Collision Braking System
- When 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.
- When 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.)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
- When the brakes are cold due to outside temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effectiveness is reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes are wet and
braking effectiveness is reduced)
- Recognition conditions of the stereo cameras
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)
• When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor in the air or
when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow, dirt,
dust or other substances to obscure the view through the windshield
• When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
• When
