i-ACTIVSENSE

The headlight high-beam indicator light turns on while the high beams are on.

Under the following conditions, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not operate normally. Manually switch between the high and low beams according to the visibility, and the road and traffic conditions.

• When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.

• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and signs.

• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.

• When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.

• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are dim or not illuminated.

• When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.

• When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are occupied.

• When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead spraying water from its tyres onto your windscreen.

• If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the lane.

• When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.

• If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.

• The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time.

• The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic lane.

• Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.

  • If an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up by the camera.

  • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the vehicle is inclined.

  • The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

  • When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a highway.

  • The white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.

  • The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.

  • A white or yellow line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).

  • The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to construction.

  • A misleading line is picked up on the road such as a temporary line for construction, or because of shade, lingering snow, or grooves filled with water.

  • The surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.

  • The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated.

  • The windscreen is dirty or foggy.

  • Back-light is reflecting from the road surface.

  • The road surface is wet and shiny after rain, or there are puddles on the road.

  • The shade of a guardrail parallel to a white or yellow line is on the road.

  • The width of a lane is excessively narrow or wide.

  • The road is excessively uneven.

  • The vehicle is shaken after hitting a road bump.

  • There are two or more adjacent white or yellow lines.

  • There are various road markings or lane markings of various shapes near an intersection.

• The vehicle posture changes depending on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and steering wheel operations, which could make it difficult for the system to recognise an obstruction, or it could facilitate unnecessary detection. In such cases, the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) may or may not operate.

• The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) system will operate under the following conditions.

  • The engine is running.

  • The change lever (manual transaxle vehicle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle vehicle) is in the R (reverse) position.

  • The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 8 km/h (2 to 4 mph).

  • The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) is not turned off.

  • The DSC is not malfunctioning.

• The Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) operates using ultrasonic sensors (rear) which detect obstructions at the rear by emitting ultrasonic waves and then receiving the returning waves reflected off the obstructions.

• In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions and the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) may not operate.

  • The height of the obstruction is low such as low walls or trucks with low loading platforms.

  • The height of the obstruction is high such as trucks with high loading platforms.

  • The obstruction is small.

  • The obstruction is thin such as a signpost.

  • The obstruction is positioned away from the centre of the vehicle.

  • The surface of the obstruction is not pointed vertically relative to the vehicle.

  • The obstruction is soft such as a hanging curtain or snow stuck to a vehicle.

  • The obstruction is shaped irregularly.

  • The obstruction is extremely close.

• In the following cases, the ultrasonic sensors (rear) cannot detect obstructions correctly and the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) may not operate.

  • Something is stuck on the bumper near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).

  • The steering wheel is turned sharply, or the brake or accelerator pedal is operated.

  • There is another obstruction near one obstruction.

  • During inclement weather such as rain, fog and snow.

  • High or low humidity.

  • High or low temperatures

  • Strong winds.

  • The path of travel is not flat.

  • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.

  • Objects such as a wireless aerial, fog light, or illuminated number plate is installed near an ultrasonic sensor (rear).

  • The orientation of an ultrasonic sensor (rear) has deviated for reasons such as a collision.

  • The vehicle is affected by other sound waves such as the horn, engine noise, ultrasonic sensor of another vehicle.

• In the following cases, an ultrasonic sensor (rear) may detect something as a target obstruction which could cause the Smart City Brake Support [Reverse] (SCBS R) system to operate.

  • Driving on a steep slope.

  • Wheel blocks.

  • Hanging curtains, gate poles such as at toll gates and railroad crossing.

  • When travelling near objects such as foliage, barriers, vehicles, walls, and fences along a road.

  • When driving off-road in areas where there is grass and forage.

  • When passing through low gates, narrow gates, car washing machines, and tunnels.

  • A towing bar is installed or a trailer is connected.

• (Manual transaxle)

  If the vehicle is stopped by the SCBS operation and the clutch pedal is not depressed, the engine stops.

• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning indication (amber) turns on when the system has a malfunction.
