Forward Camera

When all of the following conditions are met, the system detects pedestrians.

• The height of a pedestrian is about 1 m (3.3 ft) to 2 m (6.6 ft).

• The outline of a pedestrian is recognized such as the head, both shoulders, or the feet.

 

When any of the following conditions is met, the system may not be able to detect pedestrians.

• There are multiple pedestrians.

• A pedestrian is close to a separate object.

• A pedestrian is crouching, lying, or slouching.

• A pedestrian suddenly jumps into the road.

• A pedestrian is holding something (such as an open umbrella or large baggage).

• A pedestrian blends into the background (such as in a dark location at night or by wearing clothes matching the background color).

 

When any of the following conditions is met, the system may not be able to detect target objects correctly, and each system may not operate normally.

• The headlights of your vehicle are not turned on during the night or in a tunnel.

• The target object is in the blind spot of the forward camera.

• A person or object bursts onto the road from the shoulder or cuts right in front of you.

• The distance between your vehicle and the target object is extremely close or extremely far.

• You change the course and approach a target object.

• The target object is extremely small or a falling object.

• A vehicle ahead is approaching from a distant driving lane.

• The target object (vehicle ahead, white line (yellow line), sign) is dirty, worn, faded, tilted, or bent.

• A vehicle ahead has a special shape (such as a vehicle carrier).

• A vehicle ahead is a truck with a low loading platform.

• A vehicle ahead has an extremely low or high profile.

• A vehicle ahead is outside the illumination range of the headlights.

• The brightness of the headlights of a vehicle ahead is insufficient (such as the illumination is weakened due to a dirty lens or the optical axis is deviated).

• The illumination area of the taillights of the vehicle ahead is small.

• The taillights of a vehicle ahead are dim or turned off.

• The headlights of an on-coming vehicle are dim or turned off.

• Under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).

• Front visibility is reduced (due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand).

• Strong light is directed at the front of your vehicle (such as backlight and high-beam headlights).

• The surrounding area is dark (such as during the night, early evening, or early morning, or in a tunnel or indoor parking lot).

• There are light sources in the surrounding area (such as street lamps, illuminated signboards, and traffic signals).

• There are objects which reflect light (such as reflective plates and signs) in the surrounding area.

• The surrounding brightness suddenly changes (such as when entering or exiting a tunnel).

• The brightness of the headlights of your vehicle is insufficient (such as the illumination is weakened due to a dirty lens or the optical axis is deviated).

• Tires other than the specified size are used on your vehicle (such as when tire chains or temporary spare tires are used).

• The tires on your vehicle have significantly different wear.

• Foreign matter is stuck to the windshield (such as ice, fog, snow, frost, raindrops, dirt, or a piece of plastic).

• The windshield is dirty or fogged.

• The forward camera is blocked by an obstruction, causing poor forward visibility (such as when roof rails are installed to the vehicle and a long object is loaded).

• The forward camera is extremely hot or extremely cold.

• The windshield washer is being used.

• The windshield wipers are not used when it is raining.

• Your vehicle is tilted (such as when heavy luggage is in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat).

• The vehicle is making a sharp curve, or ascending or descending a steep slope.

• The vehicle is entering or exiting a curve.

• The vehicle is driven on a road with sharp curves or up and down (wavy) slopes.

• The vehicle is driven on uneven roads.

• The vehicle is driven on poor roads or unpaved roads.

• A vehicle ahead appears and disappears due to a center median or roadside trees.

• The vehicle is driven next to walls with no patterning (including fences and longitudinally striped walls).

• There is a strong light reflection (such as road surface, puddles, glass, your vehicle’s headlights).

• White (yellow) lines cannot be detected normally (due to multiple lines, broken lines, remaining lines from road repairs, shadows, remaining snow, rain tracks, partially wet road surface).

• Areas off the road cannot be detected normally (due to low curbs, lack of contrast between lane you are driving in and area off the road, obscured by vehicle ahead, remaining road repair marks, shadows, remaining snow, rain tracks, partially wet road surface).

• The contrast of the electronic sign is low.

• The sign is completely or partially hidden by trees or utility poles.

• The time to detect the sign is short.

• A sticker which looks like a sign is attached to the rear of a vehicle ahead.

• A mark similar to a sign is detected.

• A sign on side roads is detected.
