CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
When the system determines the accelerator pedal is depressed more than needed,
such as by accident, while the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly, and the camera
recognizes an obstacle in front of the vehicle, the pedal misapplication mitigation
restricts engine output so that the vehicle starts moving slowly, which mitigates collision
damage. It operates when the vehicle is on a flat road, uphill slope, or downhill slope.
WARNING
• The pedal misapplication mitigation has limits. Do not rely entirely on the pedal
misapplication mitigation. When pulling away, check the positions of the selector
lever and pedals and the surrounding safety before operating the vehicle.
• The pedal misapplication mitigation operates when an obstacle in the forward
direction is recognized. It does not move the vehicle forward slowly when no
object is visible, such as the edge of a cliff or other unseen obstacles.
• Do not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal more than needed when the
vehicle is near objects.
• A collision may occur if you rely only on the pedal misapplication mitigation to
adjust the acceleration.
• The pedal misapplication mitigation does not keep the vehicle stopped.
• The pedal misapplication mitigation does not enable the vehicle to start moving
slowly in all situations. Also, it is not intended to be used for avoiding collisions.
• If the stereo camera cannot detect an object (another vehicle, obstacle, or
pedestrian) or if the stereo camera temporarily stops or malfunctions, the pedal
misapplication mitigation does not operate.
• If the vehicle is trapped within a railroad crossing, the stereo camera may
recognize the boom barrier as an obstacle and the pedal misapplication
mitigation may be activated. To push the boom barrier and go forward, stay
calm, and continue depressing the accelerator pedal.
• Do not perform the operation test of the pedal misapplication mitigation by
yourself. The pedal misapplication mitigation may not operate depending on the
surrounding situation, which may lead to an unexpected accident.
• Depending on the distance, speed difference, or difference in the lateral direction
between your vehicle and the obstacle (such as when the obstacle is not directly
in front of your vehicle), the pedal misapplication mitigation may not operate.
• Depending on how the driver operates the steering wheel, the system
determines that the driver is attempting to avoid a collision so the pedal
misapplication mitigation may not operate.
