the rear bumper near the sonar
sensor.
– The rear bumper is exposed to
strong impact, or the rear bumper is
deformed.
.
When the 8-inch audio/navigation
system is performing a software up-
date, the Reverse Automatic Braking
System may not display the following
items on the audio/navigation screen
until the update is complete.
– Display Icon on/off Function
– Distance Indicator Image
– Warning Message
.
On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
.
The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard braking
when the vehicle’s reversing speed is
less than approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
However, the system does not guaran-
tee that the vehicle will be able to avoid
collisions in any situation.
.
If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper-
ate.
.
The system may not be able to detect
the following objects.
– Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which may
not reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor.
– Objects that are too close to the
rear bumper when the select lever is
set to the “R” position.
– Objects with a surface which may
not reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor such as a
chain link fence.
.
Objects the system is not designed
to detect
– Pedestrians
– Moving objects including moving
vehicles
– Objects which absorb sound
waves such as cloth or snow.
– Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle.
– Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks.
– Objects that are high above the
ground such as objects hanging
from above.
.
The system may not be able to
properly detect objects or may cause
a system malfunction when the follow-
ing conditions exist.
High frequency sound from other
sources are nearby:
– Horn sounds from other vehicles.
– Engine sounds from other vehi-
cles.
– Sounds of air brakes
– Vehicle detection equipment or a
sonar from other vehicles
– A sound wave with a frequency
similar to the vehicle’s system is
transmitted nearby.
– A vehicle equipped with the same
system is reversing toward your
reversing direction.
Weather conditions:
– Extremely high or extremely low
temperatures in which the area near
the sonar sensor becomes too hot
or too cold to operate
– The sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors is
exposed to heavy rain or a signifi-
cant amount of water.
– Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
– Air is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing.
Parts attached to the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor:
– Commercial electronic parts (fog
light, fender pole, radio antenna) or
commercial attachment parts (trai-
ler hitch, bicycle carrier, bumper
guard) are attached.
– Parts that emit high frequency
