A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, is detected later or detection is
lost quickly.
Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving
extremely slowly?
Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and
vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult.
Is the windshield dirty or fogged?
If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehi-
cles. Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system
again.
Is the vehicle in front far away?
The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo cameras is approximately
360 ft (110 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away.
Is the vehicle on a curve?
The detection range is limited in the left and right directions when the cameras are
properly aimed.
Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an over-
pass), or on a banked road?
The detection range is limited in the up and down directions.
Did the vehicle detected in front change?
Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed.
Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it
drives?
When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the
vehicle in front.
Control is activated even though no vehicle in front is detected?
Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane?
Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected
as well as a vehicle directly in front.
Are you driving on or near a curve?
When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guard
rails, the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures.
The Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, even though there is no vehicle in front.
Depending on surrounding objects, traffic environment and weather, the Lead
Vehicle Start Alert may issue a warning in response to objects other than a vehicle
that appear in front of your vehicle.

Cruise control is canceled automatically.
Did you perform one of the following operations? xManually depressing the brake pedal
x Pressing the (CRUISE) switch
- If the (CRUISE) switch is pressed while the cruise control is set, the cruise control will be canceled.
x Staying on a steep slope
x Turning the steering wheel sharply
x Operating the paddle shift lever
x Shifting the select lever to the position
x Unfastening the seatbelt.
x Parking brake is applied.
Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped?
A noise occurs when automatic braking control activates.
This is the sound of the automatic braking control operating - there are some
mechanical components to the system, and they do occasionally make audible
sounds during automatic braking control. It is not necessarily a malfunction.
Braking control activates frequently when driving in heavy traffic.
Unlike a human driving, the EyeSight system performs control based only on the
actions of vehicles or objects in front. As a result, acceleration and deceleration
may be more frequent while the system adjusts to vehicles or objects the camera
system is detecting. If it is difficult to maintain a consistent following distance
under certain conditions (like in bad weather or urban environments, etc.), do not
use Adaptive Cruise Control.
