■ Detection of detectable objects
Objects are detected based on their size , shape , and movement . Depending on the ambient brightness , movement , posture and direction of a detectable object , it may not be detected and the system may not operate properly . The system detects shapes , such as the following , as detectable objects .
• When passing a detectable object that is changing lanes or turning left / right
• When passing a detectable object which is stopped to make a
left / right turn
■ Situations in which the system may operate even though the possibility of a collision is not
high
●In certain situations , such as the following , the system may determine that the possibility of a collision is high and operate :
• When passing a detectable object
• When changing lanes while overtaking a detectable object
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
• When approaching a detectable
object or other object on the roadside , such as guardrails , utility poles , trees , walls , etc .
• When there is a detectable object or other object by the roadside at the entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or a painting ahead of the vehicle that may be mistaken for a detectable object
• When a detectable object stops immediately before entering the path of the vehicle
• When passing through a location with a structure above the road ( traffic sign , billboard , etc .)
• When approaching an electric toll gate barrier , parking lot barrier , or other barrier that opens and
closes
• When turning left / right and an oncoming vehicle , oncoming motorcycle , pedestrian or bicycle crosses in front of the vehicle
• When attempting to turn left / right in front of an oncoming vehicle , oncoming motorcycle , pedestrian
or bicycle
