— If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the system will not func-
tion when the vehicle approaches the
stationary vehicle at speeds over
approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).
— Pedestrian detection will not function
when the vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 60 km/h (37
MPH) or below approximately 10
km/h (6 MPH).
For pedestrians, the Intelligent Emer-
gency Braking with pedestrian detection
system will not issue the first warning.
The Intelligent Emergency Braking with
pedestrian detection system may not
function properly or detect a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead in the following condi-
tions:
— In poor visibility conditions (such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand
storms, smoke, and road spray from
other vehicles).
— If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other material
is covering the radar sensor area or
camera area of the windshield.
— If strong light (for example, sunlight
or high beams) enters the front cam-
era or a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, entering a tun-
nel or driving in lightning).
— In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as
at night or in tunnels, including cases
where your vehicle’s headlights are
off or dim, or the tail lights of the
vehicle ahead are off.
— When driving on
a
steep downhill
— If the vehicle ahead has a unique or
unusual shape, extremely low or high
clearance heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
— When the vehicle or pedestrian is
located near a traffic sign, a reflective
area (for example, water on road), or
is in a shadow.
slope, on roads with sharp curves,
and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
— If there is interference by other radar
sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or move-
ment is changed quickly or signifi-
cantly (for example, lane change,
turning vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or deceleration).
— When multiple pedestrians are
.
.
grouped together.
— When your vehicle or the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead moves quickly or
significantly such that the system
cannot detect and react in time (for
example, pedestrian moving quickly
toward the vehicle at close range,
vehicle cutting in, changing lanes,
— When the view of the pedestrian is
obscured by a vehicle or other object.
— While towing a trailer or other vehicle
(models with trailer hitch).

The system performance may be de-
graded in the following conditions:
making
a turn, steering abruptly,
sudden acceleration or deceleration).
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
— When the vehicle or pedestrian is
offset from the vehicle’s forward
path.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the cargo area of
your vehicle.
— If the speed difference between the
two vehicles is small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is partially
obscured or unidentifiable; for exam-
ple, due to transporting luggage,
pushing a stroller, wearing bulky or
very loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories, or being in a unique posture
(such as raising hands).
— There is poor contrast of a person to
the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor (radar and camera)’s
functionality, within certain limitations.
The system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area such as
ice, snow or stickers, for example. In
these cases, the system may not be able
to warn the driver properly. Be sure that
you check, clean and clear sensor areas
regularly.
In some road and traffic conditions, the

destrian detection system may unex-
pectedly apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, depress the
