In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the normal

Situation Actions
When the area around a sensor is covered
with dirt, moisture (f ogged up, covered with
condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign
matter To clean the part of the windshield in front of
the front camera , use the windshield wipers
or the windshield defo gger of the air condi-
tioning system (  P.314).
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an
extremely cold environment If the front camera is hot, such as after the
vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the
air conditioning system to decrease the tem-
perature around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the sun-
light reflected from the surface of the sun-
shade may cause the temperature of the
front camera to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold envi-
ronment, use the air conditioning system to
increase the temperature around the front
camera.
