■Conditions to turn the high beams on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically (after approximately
1 second): • The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (37 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark. • There are no vehicles ahead with
headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions is met, the high beams will turn off auto-
matically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 50 km/h (31 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark. • Vehicles ahead have their headlights
or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Stereo camera detection informa-
tion
●If EyeSight is malfunctioning or tem-
porarily disabled, the high beam assist
will not operate, and the low beam
headlights will turn on.
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa- tions:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears
from around a curve • When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle • When there is a lag in response due
to the limitations of the detection
range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not
be detected.
●In the following si tuations the system
may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low
beams. • When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
1584-3. Operating the lights and wipers
etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or
damaged • When the stereo camera is deformed
or dirty
• When the temperature of the stereo camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness
level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang- ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel roads, etc.) • When frequently and repeatedly tak-
ing curves or driving on a winding
road • When there is a highly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror • When the back of a preceding vehicle
is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck • When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly • When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc. • Immediately after the engine is started
• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal manner
• When the driver believes that the high
beams may be flashing or dazzling pedestrians or other drivers
• When the vehicle is used in an area in
which vehicles travel on the opposite side of the road of the country for
which the vehicle was designed, for
example using a vehicle designed for
right-hand traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or vice versa

●When the difference in speed with
the obstacle in front is the following
figure*1or more, it may not be possi- ble to avoid a collision. Even if the
speed difference is the following fig-
ure*1 or less, in cases such as when another vehicle cuts in front
of you, or in other cases depending
on visibility, the condition of road
surface and other factors*2, the function may be unable to stop the
vehicle or may not activate.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate depending on the
conditions*2 listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 50
km/h (30 mph),
For pedestrians: approximately 35
km/h (20 mph)
*2: Conditions in which Pre-Collision
Braking System cannot detect
obstacles:
• Distance to obstacle in front of you,
speed difference, proximity condi- tions, lateral di splacement (the
amount of offset)
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load,
number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slipperi-
ness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow,
fog or smoke, etc.)
• The detected object is something
other than a vehi cle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian.
A domestic animal or other animal
(a dog or deer, etc.)
A guardrail, telephone pole, tree,
fence or wall, etc.
• Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings
as well as the relative movement, and aspect or angle of the object,
there may be cases when the sys-
tem cannot detect it.
• The system determines that opera-
tion by the driver (based on acceler- ator pedal operation, braking,
steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action.
• Vehicle maintenance status (brake
systems, tire wear, tire pressure, etc.)
• A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.
• The brakes are cold due to the out- side temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
• The brakes are overheated on
downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance is reduced).
• In rain or after washing the vehicle
(the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced.)
• Recognition conditions of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may be
unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
Visibility is poor due to sand,
smoke or water vapor blowing in the
wind, or the front vision is obscured
due to water splashes, snow, dirt or
dust stir up generated by the vehicle
in front or oncoming traffic.

At night or in a tunnel when there is
a vehicle in front that does not have
its taillights on
Approaching a motorcycle, bicycle
or pedestrian at night
Ambient light is poor in the evening
or early morning.
A vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or
pedestrian is outside the area illumi-
nated by the headlights.
Strong light is coming from the
front (for example, sunlight at dawn,
sunset or headlight beams, etc.).
The windshield has become
fogged, scratched or smeared, or
snow, dirt, dust or frost has adhered
to it, or it is otherwise affected. These
will reduce the stereo camera’s field
of view. Also, light is reflecting off the
dirt, etc.
Fluid has not been fully wiped off
the windshield during or after washer
use.
The target cannot be correctly rec-
ognized because the stereo camera’s
view is obstructed by water droplets
from rain or the window washer, or by
the wiper blades.
The stereo camera’s field of view is
obstructed.
The rear aspect of the vehicle in
front is low, small or irregular (the sys-
tem may recognize another part of the
vehicle as its rear and will determine
operation from that).
• There is an empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or side panels on the cargo bed.
• Vehicles that have cargo protrud-ing from their back ends
• Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles
with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• The height of the vehicle is low, etc.
There is a wall, etc. in front of a
stopped vehicle.
There is another object near the
vehicle.
A vehicle, etc. has its side facing
you.
With vehicles that are backing up
or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
The size and height of an obstacle
is smaller than the limitations of the
stereo camera’s recognition capabil-
ity.
• With small animals or children, etc.
• With pedestrians who are sitting or
lying down
The detected object is a fence or
wall, etc. with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern or brick pattern, etc.).

an obstacle after changing lanes.
There is a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestri an in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper.
The speed difference between
your vehicle and an obstacle is 5
km/h (4 mph) or less (As braking is
performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle,
depending on the shape and size of
the obstacle, there may be some
cases when the obstacle is outside
the range of the camera’s field of
view.).
On sharp curves, steep uphill
grades or steep downhill grades
On a bumpy or unpaved road
There are changes in brightness,
such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
