AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions 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 condi- tions 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 driv- ing, traffic, weather and road conditions.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system can assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane or with a pedestrian ahead in the traveling lane.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system uses a radar sensor located on the front of the vehicle OB to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane. For pedestrians, the AEB with Pedestrian De- tection system uses a camera installed be- hind the windshield OA in addition to the radar sensor.
AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator 2. AEB with Pedestrian Detection emer-
gency warning indicator 3. AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
warning light The AEB system operates at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe- destrian detection function, the system operates at speeds between 6 – 37 mph (10 – 60 km/h). If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will firstly provide the warning to the driver by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in- dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information display and providing an audible alert. If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force- fully after the warning, and the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system detects that there is still the possibility of a forward col- lision, the system will automatically in- crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system issues the second visual (flashing) (red and white) and audible warning. If the driver releases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap- plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedes- trian Detection system applies harder braking automatically. While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is operating, you may hear the sound of brake operation. This is normal and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is operating properly.
NOTE: The vehicle’s 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 sys- tem may help the driver avoid a forward collision or may help mitigate the conse- quences if a collision should be unavoid- able. If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will function later or will 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 a pedestrian detected ahead. If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys- tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.
TURNING THE AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system. 1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver As- sistance.” Then press the ENTER button.
2. Select “Emergency Brake” and press the ENTER button.
3. Select “Front” and press the ENTER but- ton to turn the system on or off.
When the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is turned off, the AEB with Pedes- trian Detection system warning light illuminates.
NOTE: •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will be automatically turned on when the engine is restarted.
The I-FCW system is integrated into the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system. There is not a separate selection in the vehicle information display for the I-FCW system. When the AEB system is turned off, the I-FCW system is also turned off.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING Listed below are the system limitations for the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limita- tions could result in serious injury or death. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or pedestrians under all conditions.
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system does not detect the following:
– Pedestrians that are small (for ex- ample, children), in a sitting posi- tion, operating toys/skateboards, on scooters or in wheelchairs, or not in an upright standing or walking position.
– Animals of any size. – Obstacles (for example, cargo or
debris) on the roadway or roadside. – Oncoming or crossing vehicles. – Vehicles where the tires are diffi-
cult to see or the shape of the rear of the vehicle is unclear or obstructed.
– Parked vehicles. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limi- tations. –
If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-
hicle’s path, the system will not function when the vehicle ap- proaches the stationary vehicle at speeds over approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– Pedestrian detection will not function when the vehicle is driven at speeds over approxi- mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
• For pedestrians, the AEB with Pedes- trian Detection system will not issue the first warning.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function properly or detect a vehicle or pedestrians ahead in the following conditions:
– In poor visibility conditions (such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand storms, smoke, and road spray from other vehicles).
–If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other ma- terial is covering the radar sensor area or camera area of the windshield.
– If a strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams) enters the front camera or a sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, entering a tunnel or driving in lightning).
– In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as at night or in tunnels, in- cluding cases where your vehi- cle’s headlights are off or dim, or the tail lights of the vehicle ahead are off.
– When the direction of the camera is misaligned.
– When driving on a steep downhill slope, on roads with sharp curves, and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
– If there is interference by other ra- dar sources.
– When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed quickly or significantly (for example, lane change, turning vehicle, abrupt steering, sudden acceleration or deceleration).
– When your vehicle or the vehicle or pedestrian ahead moves quickly or significantly such that the system cannot detect and re- act in time (for example, pedes- trian moving quickly toward the vehicle at close range, vehicle cut- ting in, changing lanes, making a turn, steering abruptly, sudden acceleration or deceleration).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is offset from the vehicle’s forward path.
– If the speed difference between the two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifiable; for example, due to transporting luggage, pushing a stroller, wear- ing bulky or very loose-fitting clothing or accessories, or being in a unique posture (such as rais- ing hands).
– There is poor contrast of a person to the background, such as having clothing color or pattern which is similar to the background.
– For approximately 15 seconds af- ter starting the engine.
– If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, extremely low or high clearance heights, or un- usual cargo loading or is narrow (for example, a motorcycle).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is located near a traffic sign, a reflec- tive area (for example, water on road), or is in a shadow.
– When multiple pedestrians are grouped together.
– When the view of the pedestrian is obscured by a vehicle or other object.
– While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• The system performance may be de- graded in the following conditions:
– The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
– The vehicle is driven on a slope.
– Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area of your vehicle.
• The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s (radar and camera) functionality, within certain limitations. The system may not de- tect some forms of obstruction of the sensor area such as ice, snow or stickers, for example. In these cases, the system may not be able to warn the driver properly. Be sure that you check, clean and clear sensor areas regularly.
•In some road and traffic conditions, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may unexpectedly apply par- tial braking. When acceleration is necessary, depress the accelerator pedal to override the system.
•The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may operate when a pattern, object, shadow or lights are detected that are similar to the outline of ve- hicles or pedestrians, or if they are the same size and position as a ve- hicle or motorcycle’s tail lights.
•The system may keep operating when the vehicle ahead is turning right or left.
•The system may operate when your vehicle is approaching and passing a vehicle ahead.
•Depending on the road shape (curved road, entrance and exit of the curve, winding road, lane regulation, under construction, etc.), the system may operate temporarily for the oncoming vehicle in front of your vehicle.
WARNING Listed below are the system limitations for the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limita- tions could result in serious injury or death. •
The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may react to: – objects on the roadside (traffic sign, guardrail, pedestrian, motor- cycle, vehicle, etc.)
– pedestrians when driving on the narrow alleys, etc.
– pedestrians who temporarily pro- trude into or approaching the driving lane to avoid the obstacles on the road shoulder
– objects above road (low bridge, traffic sign, etc.)
– objects on the road surface (rail- road track, grate, steel plate, etc.)
– objects in the parking garage (beam, pillar, etc.)
– pedestrians or motorcycles ap- proaching the travelling lane
– vehicles, pedestrians, motorcycles or objects in adjacent lanes or close to the vehicle
– oncoming pedestrians – objects on the road (such as trees)
•Braking distances increase on slip- pery surfaces.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Condition A: In the following conditions, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system warning light blinks and the system will be turned off automatically: • The radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source. • The camera area of the windshield is
misted or frozen. • Strong light is shining from the front. • The cabin temperature is over approxi-
mately 104°F (40°C) in direct sunlight. • The camera area of the windshield glass
is continuously covered with dirt, etc.
Action to take When the above conditions no longer exist, the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will resume automatically.
