the temporary stop will be canceled
once these conditions have
ꢀ The rear aspect of the vehicle in

(a striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with
no pattern in front.
improved and the vehicle is driven
for a short period of time.
ꢀ The obstacle is a wall or door made
of glass or a mirror in front.
ꢀ Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In par-
ticular, the system is more likely to
temporarily stop operating when
there is an oil film adhering to the
windshield, a glass coating has
been applied, or poorly performing

ꢀ Driving at night or in a tunnel when
there is a vehicle in front that does

vegetation
ꢀ On steep uphill or downhill grades
ꢀ Strong light is coming from the front
(sunlight or headlight beams of
oncoming traffic, etc.).
ꢀ The stereo camera is obstructed by
a hand, etc. (If even one of the
lenses is obstructed, the system
does not operate properly.)
ꢀ The windshield washer is in use.
