Driving your vehicle
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian is not fully detect-
ed by the camera recognition sys-
tem, for example, if the pedestrian
is leaning over or is not fully walk-
ing upright
• The pedestrian is moving very
quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
• The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
• The outside lighting is too bright
(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
• The pedestrian is small
• The pedestrian has impaired
mobility
• The radar sensor or camera is
blocked with a foreign object or
debris
• The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
piece of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
• The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
• Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street
light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
• The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
• The adverse road conditions
cause excessive vehicle vibrations
while driving
• The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
• You are on a roundabout
