NOTICE
■ Front sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the sensor operates correctly:
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● On cold days when there is a large temperature difference between the
vehicle interior and outside air temperatures, the windshield fogs up easily.
If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor becomes fogged up
or covered with condensation or ice, the system temporarily stops working
and the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates. In that case, use the front
defroster to remove the fog, condensation, or ice. ( P. 334, 344)
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent ones) or similar objects to the
outside of the windshield in front of the
front sensor (the shaded area shown in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illus-
tration).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
