2-4. Using other driving systems

Determining the direction the driver is facing (with driver monitor system)

The driver monitor function does not operate when the vehicle is stopped.

The direction the driver is facing may not be determined correctly if any of the fol-

lowing conditions exist:

There is an object between the driver monitor sensor and the driver’s face, such

as when the sensor is blocked.

A part of the driver’s face is covered.

The sensor or the driver’s face is exposed to intense light such as sunlight.

The driving posture is improper.

Headlights (with driver monitor system)

The near-infrared ray transmitter projects strong energy that is not visible. Although

the transmitter normally turns off when the vehicle is stopped, never look into the

headlights for your safety.

Limitations of the pre-collision system

Do not rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.

Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system

By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-collision system is intended to assist

the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK-JUDGE-ACT. There

are limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind

the following important points.

Assisting the driver in watching the road

The pre-collision system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the

vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless

or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibil-

ity conditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehi-

cle's surroundings.

Assisting the driver in making correct judgment

When attempting to estimate the likelihood of a collision, the only data available

to the pre-collision system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of

the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant

and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of collision in any given situ-

ation.
