Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)*
7-78 Starting and driving
7
E00643500047
The detection areas of the sensors are limited.
Moreover, the sensors are unable to detect
low or thin objects or objects near the rear
bumper. Make sure to check the surroundings
as you operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
• When the vehicle body is extremely
inclined by carrying heavy loads or
improper adjustment of the tyre pressure.
• When the driving is unstable due to an acci-
dent or trouble
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring
rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• Obstacle is not vertical to the ground, the
obstacle is not at right angles to vehicle
traveling direction, or when there is uneven
walls and wavy walls.
 The UMS operation may be cancelled when
the system judges the handle operation as
evasive actions or when the obstacle moves
out of the detectable area of the sensor.
 The UMS may be triggered in the following
situations.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an
oncoming vehicle.
• When there are objects, steps or projections
on the road surface.
• When the parking gate or railway barrier is
raised imperfectly.
• When running the road, the gradient
changes suddenly.
• When passing through the mass of the
steam, fog or smoke.
• When driving in close to the vehicle ahead,
and when stopping in close to the for-
ward/backward vehicle or a wall.
CAUTION
• When there is an obstacle in a curb or an
intersection.
• When your vehicle joins the main line from
parallel parking.
• When there is a ultrasonic near your vehicle
by horn of other vehicle, engine sound of a
motorcycle, air brake noise of a large vehi-
cle, a vehicle detector and sonar of a vehi-
cle etc..
• When an electrical equipment on the mar-
ket (radio antenna etc.) is installed near the
sensor.
• When driving on a gravel road.
• When the surrounding area is overgrown
with weeds.
 Turn off the system by pressing the FCM and
UMS ON/OFF switch beforehand when the
vehicle is placed in any of the following situ-
ations as the system can operate unexpect-
edly.
• When getting out from a road groove or a
mud.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• When an elevator for vehicle or a mechani-
cal parking is used.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by
the motor on a lift.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehicle
tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.
• When driving on a circuit.
CAUTION
• When your vehicle is on a chassis
dynamometer or free rollers.
• When the tyre pressure is not proper.
• When tyre chains are attached.
 Improperly handling the system components
may result in such problems as degraded sen-
sor performance and ultimately in an acci-
dent.
Be sure to take the following precautions to
keep the system in good operating condi-
tions.
• Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the sensor.
• The sensor should be kept clean.
• Do not cover the sensor with a sticker or
anything.
• Do not modify the suspension of your vehi-
cle.
 If the bumper has been exposed to an impact,
the sensors may fail and prevent the system
from functioning properly. Have the vehicle
inspected
