Adaptive Cruise Control
35
Continued on next page Ÿ
- When water droplets from rain or the window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the windshield
It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making correct
control impossible.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• The stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the following objects or
conditions. Operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary.
- Vehicles at significantly different speeds (vehicles driving slowly, stopped or oncoming vehicles, etc.)
- Vehicles cutting into your lane
- Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and animals, etc.
- When light is poor in the evening or early morning
- When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
- When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight high
beams, etc.)
- Vehicles in front that have a rear aspect that is low,
small or irregular (the sys-
tem may recognize
another part of the vehicle
and will determine opera-
tion from that)• An empty truck or trailer
that has no cargo in the
cargo bed being affected
by wind
• Vehicles that have cargo
protruding from their
back ends
• Non-standard shaped ve-
hicles (vehicle transport-
ers or vehicles with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• Vehicles that are low
- Objects that are located close to the bumper of your vehicle
• When you do not want to use Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to turn the
(CRUISE) switch off. If the switch is left on, cruise control may be
accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an accident.
• Before using Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to fully verify the safety of
the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never operate the
cruise control from outside the vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control
42
•If your vehicle no longer detects the vehicle
in front
The vehicle gradually accelerates back to
the set target vehicle speed and will drive at
that constant speed.
If a vehicle in front is detected while
accelerating to the set target vehicle speed,
vehicle tracking will be started again.
CAUTION
If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake
pedal further you can apply more braking force. When the brake pedal is
released it will return to its original condition.
NOTE
•When the brakes are applied by Adaptive Cruise Control, the vehicle’s
brake lights will illuminate.
• Even if there is no lead vehicle present, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive
Cruise Control’s automatic brake may operate in order to maintain the set
target vehicle speed.
• Some noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused by
the braking control and does not indicate a malfunction.
• To temporarily accelerate quickly, use the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the vehicle will gradually return to the set target vehicle speed shown
in the gauge cluster.
• There are cases where the vehicle in front has turned off the road while
your vehicle is still controlled by the automatic braking operation that has
activated due to the deceleration of the vehicle in front of yours. In those
cases, the brake will be automatically released gradually. Depress the
accelerator pedal if necessary.
• The lead-vehicle tracking function has the following characteristics:
- If the lead vehicle’s brake lamp is detected, deceleration is started more quickly than without detection.
- If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while travelling more than 37 MPH (60 km/h), the system starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more
quickly because it is linked with the turn signal.

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
54
Ÿ Continued from previous page
• If your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Ÿ Refer to page 58.
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference, and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
• When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
• In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
• When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after use of the window washer
• When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo cam-
eras’ field of view
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
• With small animals or children.
• With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
• When the rear portion
nearest your vehicle is
too small or too close
(such as a trailer or
oncoming vehicle) the
system may not recog-
nize the part of that
vehicle which is closest
to you.

Troubleshooting
88
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Are you parking the vehicle at extremely cold or hot condition? In these cases,
EyeSight will maintain temporary stop until the temperature is back to normal.
Are you driving in the rain with old wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very low.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking
is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front
and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depend-
ing on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your rela-
tive speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the road away or the distance from the
vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.
