NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are similar to those of
human eyes. For this reason, con- ditions that make it difficult for the
driver to see in the forward direction
have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it difficult
for the system to detect vehicles,
obstacles, and traffic lanes.
●Detection by the EyeSight system
is limited to objects that are within
the range of the stereo camera’s field of view. Also, after an object
enters the range of the camera’s
field of view, it may take some time for the system to detect it as a con-
trollable target and to warn the
driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehi-
cle cannot be detected.

or Conventional Cruise Control.
Handling of the stereo cam-
era
NOTICE
●The stereo camera monitors and
detects smears or blurs on the front of the camera. However, detection
is not 100% accurate.
Under certain conditions, the func-
tion may fail to detect smears or blurs on the front of the stereo cam-
era accurately. In addition, this
function may not detect that there is snow or ice on the windshield close
to the stereo came ra. In such condi-
tions, be sure to keep the wind- shield clean at all times (indicated
by ). Otherwise the system may
not operate correctly. When this function detects that the front of the
stereo camera is smeared or
blurred, no EyeSight functions can be activated except for Conven-
tional Cruise Control.

When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system acti-
vates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to activate
braking control and the stop lights.
Following distance warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds
repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display illuminate to warn the
driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not acti-
vated.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable
following distance, the warning is canceled.
First braking and warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in
front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display
illuminate to warn the driver. Braking control may be activated and in some situa-
tions, engine output may also be controlled. If the system determines that the
amount of evasive action (braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced
the risk of collision, braking activation is canceled.
Secondary braking and warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the alert

Adaptive Cruise Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control is a
driving support system
intended to allow more com-
fortable driving on express-
ways, freeways and
motorways. The stereo cam-
era detects vehicles in front
that are driving in the same
traffic lane, and your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front (up
to the maximum speed of the
set vehicle speed). While fol-
lowing, your vehicle will auto-
matically maintain a following
distance that corresponds to
the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of
being controlled at a speed
between 0 km/h (0 mph) and
approximately 180 km/h (110
mph). Please remember that
you should not exceed posted
speed limits.

●This system does not provide the
driver with an automatic driving
function that handles all traffic con- ditions.
●Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. Th is system is not
intended to assist in driving when
the driver is not paying full attention to what is ahead of him/her due to
distractions or a lack of concentra-
tion while driving, or under condi- tions of poor visibility. It is not
intended to prevent rear-end colli-
sions. Strive for safe driving at all times.
Always maintain a safe following
distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your
surroundings and the driving condi-
tions, and operate the brake pedal and take other actions as neces-
sary.
●When using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, always set the speed according
to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions.

there are no malfunctions of the
tires or brakes.
●When you do not want to use Adap-
tive Cruise Control, be sure to turn it off by pressing the “ON-OFF”
switch. If the switch is left on, cruise
control may be accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an
accident.
●Before using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, be sure to full y verify the safety
of the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never
operate the cruise control from out-
side the vehicle.
