Precaution for AEB System Service
WARNING:
- Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the AEB with pedestrian detection system could result in serious injury or death.
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system is a supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a replacement for the driver's attention to traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving techniques.
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather, and road conditions.
- Listed below are the system limitations for the AEB with pedestrian detection system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system cannot detect all vehicles or pedestrians under call conditions.
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system does not detect the following objects:
- Small pedestrians (including small children), animals and cyclists.
- Pedestrians in wheel chairs or using mobile transport such as scooters, child-operated toys, or skateboards.
- Pedestrians who are seated or otherwise not in a full upright standing or walking position.
- Oncoming vehicles
- Crossing vehicles
- Obstacles on the roadside.
CAUTION:
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system has some performance limitations, for example:
- If a stationary vehicle is in the vehicle's path, the AEB with pedestrian detection system will not function when the vehicle is driven at speeds over approximately 50 MPH (80 km/h).
- For pedestrian detection, the AEB with pedestrian detection system will not function when the vehicle is driven at speeds over approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h) or below approximately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system will not function for pedestrians in darkness or in tunnels, even if there is street lighting in the areas.
- The vehicles brake lights come on when any braking is performed by the AEB with pedestrian detection system. Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as driving and roadway conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the consequences if a collision should be unavoidable. If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with pedestrian detection system will function later or not function.
- The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:
- When the steering wheel is turned to avoid a collision.
- When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
- When there is no longer a vehicle or pedestrian detected ahead.
- If the AEB with pedestrian detection system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
- The AEB with pedestrian detection system will be automatically turned on when the engine is started.
