241 4-5. Using the driving support systems 4 Dr iv ing WARNING ● Although this system is designed to help avoid a colli- sion or help reduce the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to vari- ous conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance. Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully. • Conditions under which the sys- tem may operate even if there is no possibility of a collision: • Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate properly: ● Do not attempt to test the oper- ation of the pre-collision system yourself. Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, card- board objects imitating detect- able objects, etc.), the system may not operate properly, pos- sibly leading to an accident. ■ Pre-collision braking ● When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be applied. ● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking function, the pre-colli- sion braking function operation will be canceled after approxi- mately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary. ● The pre-collision braking func- tion may not operate if certain operations are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating. ● In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating, operation of the func- tion may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system deter- mines that the driver is taking evasive action. ● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the driver is tak- ing evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-collision braking function. ■ Emergency steering assist ● As emergency steering assist operation will be canceled when the system determines that lane departure prevention function has been completed. ● Emergency steering assist may not operate or may be cancel in the following cases as the sys- tem may determine the driver is taking actions. • If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the steering wheel is being operated sharply, the brake pedal is being depressed or the turn sig- nal lever is being operated. In this case, the system may determine that the driver is tak- ing evasive action and the emergency steering assist may not operate. |
