Precautions For Preview Function

This system is only an aid to assist braking operation and is not a collision warning or avoidance device. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
As there is a performance limit to the Preview Function, never rely solely on this system. This system does not correct careless, inattentive or absent minded driving. Nor does it overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
The system may not detect a vehicle ahead, depending on road or weather conditions. While the vehicle is moving and the Brake Assist System operates under normal conditions, the Preview Function may operate improperly under the following conditions:
- When rain, snow or dirt contaminates the system sensor
- When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle
- Winding or hilly roads may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may detect objects or vehicles in other lanes.
- Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may detect objects or vehicles in other lanes.
The system will not detect:
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
- Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
When the Preview Function operates, the brake pedal may move slightly and may make a small noise. This is not a system malfunction.
