    If the malfunction indicator lamp illuminates

The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate erroneously if refueling is performed repeatedly when the fuel tank is nearly full.

222 4-4. Refueling

WARNING

    When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:

    Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
    Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
    Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

    Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehi- cle, such as causing the emission control system to operate abnor- mally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s painted surface.

2 Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to open it and put it into the holder on the fuel filler door.

After refueling, turn the fuel tank cap until you hear a click. Once the cap is released, it will turn slightly in the opposite direction.

    When “Check Fuel Cap” is dis- played on the multi-information display

The fuel tank cap may be unfas- tened or loose. Turn the engine switch off, check the cap and tighten it securely. If the message remains, wait a few seconds and then turn the engine switch off once again.

WARNING

    When replacing the fuel tank cap

Do not use anything but a genu- ine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri- ous injury.

System functions

    Pre-collision warning

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the multi- information display to urge the driver to take evasive action.

    Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

    Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli- sion is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the impact of the colli- sion.

    Enabling/disabling the pre- collision system

enabled/disabled on the screen (P.94) of the multi- information display.

The system is automatically enabled each time the engine switch is turned to ON.

    Changing the pre-collision warning timing

The pre-collision warning timing

can be changed on the screen (P.94) of the multi- information display.

The warning timing setting is retained when the engine switch is turned to OFF. However, if the pre- collision system is disabled and re- enabled, the operation timing will return to the default setting (mid- dle).

    Early
    Middle

This is the default setting.

WARNING

    Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
    Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always pay- ing careful attention to your sur- roundings.

    When weather conditions are bad enough that they may pre- vent the sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sand- storm, heavy rain, etc.)
    When there is rain, snow, etc. on the front surface of the radar or front camera
    In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated acceleration and deceleration
    When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency tow- ing
    When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.

When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec- essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi- ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.

When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler- ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.

Resuming follow-up cruising when the vehicle has been stopped by sys- tem control (vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode)

After the vehicle ahead of you starts off, press the “+RES” switch.

Your vehicle will also resume follow-up cruising if the acceler- ator pedal is depressed after the vehicle ahead of you starts off.

    Pressing the cancel switch cancels the speed control.

The speed control is also canceled when the brake pedal is depressed. (When the vehicle has been stopped by system control, depressing the brake pedal does not cancel the setting.)

    Pressing the “+RES” switch resumes the cruise control and returns vehicle speed to the set speed.

When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and suffi- cient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possi- ble, the display will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

    Warnings may not occur when

In the following instances, warn- ings may not occur even when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.

    When the speed of the pre- ceding vehicle matches or exceeds your vehicle speed
    When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow speed
    Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
    When depressing the acceler- ator pedal

Selecting constant speed control mode

When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehi- cle distance. Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance control mode does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.

    With the cruise control off, press and hold the cruise control main switch for 1.5 seconds or more.

Immediately after the switch is pressed, the dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on. After- wards, it switches to the cruise con- trol indicator.

Switching to constant speed control mode is only possible when operat- ing the switch with the cruise con- trol off.

    Accelerate or decelerate, with accelerator pedal opera- tion, to the desired vehicle speed (at or above approxi- mately 20 mph [30 km/h]) and press the “-SET” switch to set the speed.

Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.

The vehicle speed at the moment the switch is released becomes the set speed.

    The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approx- imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more. (However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approximately 20 mph [30 km/h], the set speed will be set to approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
    Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed

The vehicle can accelerate by oper- ating the accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the preced- ing vehicle.

    When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
    Pressing the “+RES” switch while the vehicle ahead stops will resume follow-up cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds after the switch is pressed.
    If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 seconds after your vehicle stops, follow-up cruising will be resumed.

    The sensor cannot detect cor- rectly because it is covered in some way.
    Pre-collision braking is activated.
    The parking brake is operated.
    The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
    The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system control:
    The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
    The driver’s door is opened.
    The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes

If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.

    Automatic cancelation of con- stant speed control mode

Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the follow- ing situations:

    Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the set vehicle speed.
    Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
    VSC is activated.
    TRAC is activated for a period of time.
    When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
    Pre-collision braking is activated. If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any rea- sons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.

Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a warning message may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an object. Once the ice melts, the sys- tem will return to normal.

If a warning message is displayed even if the sensor is clean, there may be a sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

    Sensor detection information
    The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’ front and rear bumpers.
    The following situations may occur during use.
    Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
    Detection may be impossible if static objects draw too close to the sensor.
    There will be a short delay between static object detection and display (warning buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within 30 cm before the display is shown and the warning buzzer sounds.
    It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
    It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of other systems.
    Conditions under which the function may not function cor- rectly

Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.

    There is dirt, snow or ice on a sen- sor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
    A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor dis-

play may be displayed abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.

    A sensor is covered in any way.
    When a sensor or the area around

a sensor is extremely hot or cold.

    On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
    The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehi- cles, or other loud noises produc- ing ultrasonic waves.
    There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
    A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
    If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a flooded road.
    If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
    The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
    If objects draw too close to the sensor.
    Objects which may not be prop- erly detected

The shape of the object may pre- vent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention to the follow- ing objects:

    Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
    Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
    Sharply-angled objects
    Low objects
    Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direc- tion of your vehicle

People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of cloth- ing.

    Buzzer operation and dis- tance to an object
    The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an object.

When the vehicle comes within approximately 1.1 ft. (34 cm) of the object, the

buzzer sounds continuously.

    When 2 or more sensors simultaneously detect a static object, the buzzer sounds for the nearest object.
    Even when the sensors are operating, the buzzer will be muted in some situations. (automatic buzzer mute func- tion)

    Muting the buzzer sound
    Automatic buzzer mute function Even when the sensors are operat- ing, the buzzer will be muted in the following situations:
    The distance between the vehicle and the detected object does not become shorter (except when the distance between the vehicle and object is 1.1 ft. [34 cm] or less).
    Your vehicle is moving away from the object.
    There are no detectable objects entering the path of your vehicle.

However, if another object is detected or the situation changes while the buzzer is muted, the buzzer begins sounding again.

    If the Parking Support Brake has operated

If the vehicle is stopped due to oper- ation of the Parking Support Brake, the Parking Support Brake will be

disabled and the PKSB OFF indica- tor will illuminate. If the Parking Sup- port Brake operates unnecessarily, brake control can be canceled by depressing the brake pedal or wait- ing for approximately 2 seconds for it to automatically be canceled.

Then, the vehicle can be operated by depressing the accelerator pedal.

    Re-enabling the Parking Sup- port Brake

To re-enable the Parking Support Brake when it is disabled due to operation of the Parking Support Brake, either enable the system again (P.279), or turn the engine switch off and then back to ON. Additionally, if the object becomes no longer in the traveling direction of the vehicle or if the traveling direc- tion of the vehicle changes (such as changing from moving forward to backing up, or from backing up to moving forward), the system will be re-enabled automatically.

    If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis- played on the multi-information display and the PKSB OFF indi- cator is flashing

If the vehicle is stopped due to oper- ation of the Parking Support Brake, the Parking Support Brake will be disabled and the PKSB OFF indica- tor will illuminate.

    If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is simultaneously displayed, a sen- sor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. In this case, remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the sys- tem to normal. If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
    A sensor may be frozen. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
    Water may be continuously flow-

ing over the sensor surface, such as in a heavy rain. When the sys- tem determines that it is normal, the system will return to normal.

    Initialization may not have been performed after a battery terminal was disconnected and recon- nected. Initialize the system. (P.282)

If this message continues to be displayed even after initialization, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

    If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected

The system needs to be initialized. To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

    The Parking Support Brake function (static object) will operate when

The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illumi- nated or flashing (P.77, 79) and all of the following conditions are met:

    Engine output restriction control
    The Parking Support Brake is enabled.
    The vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
    There is a static object in the trav- eling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away.
    The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that a stronger-than-nor- mal brake operation is necessary to avoid a collision.
    Brake control
    Engine output restriction control is operating
    The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an immediate brake operation is necessary to avoid a collision.

The function will stop operating if any of the following conditions are met:

    Engine output restriction control
    The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
    The system determines that the collision has become avoidable with normal brake operation.
    The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
    Brake control
    The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
    Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was stopped by brake control.
    The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by

brake control.

    The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
    Detection range of the Parking Support Brake function (static objects)

The detection range of the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) differs from the detection range of the intuitive parking assist. (P.276) Therefore, even if the intu- itive parking assist detects an object and provides a warning, the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) may not start operating.

    Objects that the Parking Sup- port Brake function (static objects) may not detect

The sensors may not be able to detect certain objects, such as the following:

    Pedestrian
    Cotton, snow, and other materials that are poor reflectors of sonic waves
    Objects which are not perpendicu- lar to the ground, are not perpen- dicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle, are uneven or are waving
    Low objects
    Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
    Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
    Sharply-angled objects
    Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direc- tion of your vehicle
    Intuitive parking assist buzzer

Regardless of whether the intuitive parking assist system is enabled or not (P.273), if the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) is enabled (P.279), the front or rear sensors detect an object and brake

control and engine output restric- tion control are performed, the intui- tive parking assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approxi- mate distance to the object.

    Situations in which the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) may operate even if there is no possibility of a colli- sion

In some situations, such as the fol- lowing, the Parking Support Brake function (static objects) may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.

Driving precautions

Pay attention to the following precautions when using the rear view monitor system.

Screen description

Vehicle width guide line

Displays a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up.

    The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.

This line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground.

Shows distance behind the vehicle.

    Displays a point approximately

1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the edge of the bumper.

Shows distance behind the vehicle.

    Displays a point approximately 3 ft. (1 m) (blue) from the edge of the bumper.

The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bumper of the rear area of the vehicle.

Corners of bumper

    The area around both corners of the bumper will not be dis- played.

    The image adjustment procedure for the rear view monitor system screen is the same as the proce- dure for adjusting the screen. (P.390)
    The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle ori- entation conditions.
    Objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper cannot be displayed.
    The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the image that appears on the screen differs from the actual distance.
    Items which are located higher than the camera may not be dis- played on the monitor.

monitor system is located as shown in the illustration.

    Using the camera

If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.

NOTICE

    The rear view monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases.
    If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change.
    As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
    When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image.
    Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
    If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
    When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
    Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If this hap- pens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

    The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines

may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.

    The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
    The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the follow- ing situations, there is a mar- gin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
    When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply

The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehi- cle than the actual distance.

Because of this, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the fixed guide lines and the actual dis- tance/course on the road.

    When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply

The distance guide lines will appear to be farther from the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be closer than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guide lines and the actual distance/course on the road.

    When any part of the vehi- cle sags

When any part of the vehicle sags due to the number of pas- sengers or the distribution of the load, there is a margin of error between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis- tance/course on the road.

A margin of error

The distance guide lines are dis- played according to flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the vehicle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimen- sional object that extends out- ward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the follow- ing.

    Vehicle width guide lines

Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehicle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.

    The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road surfaces. In any of the follow- ing situations, there is a mar- gin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
    When the ground behind the vehicle slopes up sharply

The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehi- cle than the actual distance.

Because of this, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guidelines and the actual distance/course on the road.

    When any part of the vehi- cle sags

When any part of the vehicle sags due to the number of pas- sengers or the distribution of the load, there is a margin of error between the guide lines on the screen and the actual dis- tance/course on the road.

A margin of error

The estimated course lines tar- get flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three- dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.

    Estimated course lines

Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the estimated course lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the estimated course lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the estimated course lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.

Pay attention to the following precautions when using the panoramic view monitor.

WARNING

    Never depend on the panoramic view monitor entirely. The image and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may differ from the actual state. Use caution just as you would when driving any other vehicle.
    Always make sure to check all around the vehicle with your own eyes when driving.
    Never drive while looking only at the screen as the image on the screen is different from actual conditions. If you are driving while looking only at the screen, you may hit a person or an object, resulting in an accident. When driving, be sure to check the vehicle’s surroundings with your own eyes and the vehicle’s mirrors.
    Depending on the circum- stances of the vehicle (number of passengers, amount of lug- gage, etc.), the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may change. Be sure to check visually around the vehi- cle before proceeding.

The panoramic view monitor displays an image of the surrounding view of the vehicle.

Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bum- pers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.

Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

Objects located in the shaded areas will not be displayed on the screen.

Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be displayed on the screen.

    As the images obtained from four cameras are processed and displayed on the standard of a flat road surface; the panoramic view/moving view/see through view may be displayed as follows.
    Objects may look collapsed; thinner or bigger than usual.
    An object with a higher position than the road surface may look farther away than it actually is or may not appear at all.
    Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of the image.
    Variations in the brightness of the image may appear for every camera.
    The displayed image may be shifted by inclination of the vehicle body, change in vehicle height, etc., depending on the number of passengers, amount of luggage, fuel quantity, etc.
    If the front doors or back door are not completely closed; neither the image nor the guide lines are displayed.
    The position relations of the vehicle icon and the road surface or obstacle may differ from the actual positions.

If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.

NOTICE

    The panoramic view monitor may not operate properly in the following cases.
    If the camera is hit, the position and mounting angle of the cam- era may change.
    As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
    When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large quantity of water and wipe it with a soft and wet cloth. Strongly rubbing the camera lens may cause the camera lens to be scratched and unable to transmit a clear image.
    Do not allow an organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a glass coating to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
    If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
    When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
    Do not expose the camera to strong impacts as this could cause a malfunction. If this hap- pens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

A margin of error

When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bum- pers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road, take extra care when using the following.

Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than the surface of the road. For example, even though it appears that there is space between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the illustration below and they are not likely to collide, in reality, a colli- sion is about to occur.

The estimated course lines target flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimen- sional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be care- ful of the following.

Since the estimated course line is displayed for a flat road sur- face, it cannot depict the posi- tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher than

the surface of the road. Even if the bumpers of the vehicle is on the outside of the estimated course line in the image, in real- ity, the vehicles are on a colli- sion course.

(such as the overhang of a wall or loading platform of a truck) in high positions may not be pro- jected on the screen. Check the safety of the surroundings directly.

Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehicle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the estimated course lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the estimated course lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the estimated course lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
