Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)*
Starting and driving 6-111
6
WARNING
 Do not overly rely on the Ultrasonic mis-
acceleration Mitigation System. It is never
a substitute for your safe and careful driv-
ing. Always be careful to operate the
accelerator pedal perceiving the environ-
mental conditions. Misoperation can lead
to a serious accident.

As the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitiga-
tion System is not a function to keep the
stop condition of the vehicle, depress the
brake pedal according to the environmen-
tal condition.
 Depending on the situation, the system
does not operate even if the vehicle or the
obstacle in front and behind your vehicle
and this may cause the vehicle to start
suddenly and lead to a serious accident.

If the vehicle is trapped in the railway
crossing because the system is activated as
the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an
obstacle, escape from the railway crossing
without any panic by one of the following
methods.
• Release the foot from the accelerator
pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.
• Turn the system OFF. (Continuously
press the Forward Collision Mitigation
System (FCM) (if so equipped) and
Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System (UMS) ON/OFF switch for more
than 3 seconds.)
• Continuously depress the accelerator
pedal for more than 5 seconds.
• Repeat to press the accelerator pedal
quickly to its full stroke more than
3 times.

Do not perform inspection of the system
operation on your own. Depending on the
situation, this may cause the system to not
operate properly and lead to a serious
accident.
CAUTION
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System does not operate in the following
conditions:
• The operation mode is other than ON.
• The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System is set to OFF by operating the For-
ward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)
and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System (UMS) ON/OFF switch.
• The Forward Collision Mitigation System
(FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mit-
igation System (UMS) OFF indicator lights
up.
• The selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK)
or “N” (NEUTRAL) position. (A/T)
 It sometimes happens that a motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian are detected as obsta-
cles, but these are not the object of the Ultra-
sonic misacceleration Mitigation System
operation.
WARNING
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System may not operate in the following
conditions.
• The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand.
• The stickers or accessories have been
attached to the sensors or surroundings.
• When there is an extremely change in the
outside temperature.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
strong winds, snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When approaching an obstacle too closely.
• When a vehicle cuts in front or behind your
vehicle very closely.
• When only a part of the obstacle is within
the detection areas of the sensor.
• When the rain, snow, water or dirt adheres
to the sensor.
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time under a blazing sun or in
cold weather).
• Immediately after engine starting.
• When driving on a road with many and suc-
cessive curves, including when passing
their entrances and outlets.
• When driving on a road with steep and
alternating up and down slopes.
• When a road surface is surging, and there is
unevenness or gravel.
