Toyota CH-R: When a pedestrian is detected

If a pedestrian is in the area behind the vehicle or if the rear camera detected that a pedestrian is approaching the vehicle from behind, the system urges caution from the driver by sounding the buzzer and displaying the detection of a pedestrian on the multimedia display as follows:

1. If a pedestrian is detected in area A Buzzer: Sounds repeatedly Pedestrian detection icon: Blinks
2. If a pedestrian is detected in area B Buzzer (When the vehicle is stationary): Sounds 3 times Buzzer (When the vehicle is backing up, when a pedestrian approaches the rear of the vehicle): Sounds repeatedly Pedestrian detection icon: Blinks
3. If the system determines that your vehicle may collide with a pedestrian in area C Buzzer: Sounds repeatedly Pedestrian detection icon: Blinks

■The rear camera detection function is operational when

• The power switch is in ON.
• RCD function is on.
• The shift position is in R.
• Advanced Park is not operating.

■Setting the buzzer volume

The buzzer volume of the Toyota parking assist-sensor, RCTA, and RCD can all be changed at once from the customize settings.

■Muting a buzzer temporarily

When an object is detected, the temporary mute switch is displayed on the multimedia display system. Select the switch to mute a buzzer of the Toyota parking assist-sensor, RCTA, and RCD all together.

Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations:

• When the shift position is changed.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.
• When there is a malfunction in a sensor or the system is temporarily unavailable.
• When the operating function is disabled manually.
• When the power switch is turned off.

■Situations in which the system may not operate properly

• Some pedestrians, such as the following, may not be detected by the rear camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly:
  • Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
  • Pedestrians who are lying down
  • Pedestrians who are running
  • Pedestrians who suddenly appear from the shadow of the vehicle or a building
  • Pedestrians who are riding moving objects such as a bicycle or skateboard
  • Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making their silhouette obscure
  • Pedestrians whose body is partially hidden by an object, such as a cart or umbrella
  • Pedestrians which are obscured by darkness, such as at night
• In some situations, such as the following, pedestrians may not be detected by the rear camera detection function, preventing the function from operating properly:
  • When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
  • The lens is dirty (by dirt or snow-melting agent, etc.) or scratched
  • When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle, shines directly into the rear camera
  • When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes suddenly, such as at the entrance or exit of a garage or underground parking lot
  • When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an underground parking lot
  • When the camera position and direction are deviated
  • When a towing hook is attached
  • When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens
  • When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up, nose down, etc.)
  • When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used
  • When the suspension has been lowered or tires that have a different size than the genuine tires are installed
  • When an aftermarket electronic part (backlit license plate, fog light, etc.) is installed near the rear camera
  • If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper
  • When towing with the vehicle

■Situations in which the system may operate unexpectedly

• Even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area, some objects, such as the following, may be detected, possibly causing the rear camera detection function to operate.
  • Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehicle
  • Moving objects, such as a car or motorcycle
  • Objects moving toward your vehicle when backing up, such as flags or puddles (or airborne matter, such as smoke, steam, rain, or snow)
  • Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repairs, white lines, pedestrian crossings or fallen leaves on the road
  • Metal covers (gratings), such as those used for drainage ditches
  • Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
  • Shadows on the road
• In some situations, such as the following, the rear camera detection function may operate even though there are no pedestrians in the detection area.
  • When backing up toward the roadside or a bump on the road
  • When backing up toward an incline/decline
  • When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up, nose down, etc.)
  • When an aftermarket electronic part (backlit license plate, fog light, etc.) is installed near the rear camera
  • If a bumper protector, such as an additional trim strip, is installed to the rear bumper
  • If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed due to a collision or other impact, or removal and installation
  • If a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle
  • When water is flowing over the rear camera lens
  • The lens is dirty (by dirt or snow-melting agent, etc.)
  • If there is a flashing light in the detection area, such as the emergency flashers of another vehicle
  • When a tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used
  • When towing with the vehicle
• Situations in which the rear camera detection function may be difficult to notice
  • The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy or the audio system volume is high.
  • If the temperature in the cabin is extremely high or low, the audio system screen may not operate correctly.
