EyeSight is a driving support
system that uses a range of
functions to assist the driver in
making decisions in order to
provide for more safe and
comfortable driving and to
reduce driver fatigue. Making
use of images created by the
stereo camera, EyeSight
detects vehicles, obstacles,
traffic lanes and other items
ahead.
WA R N I N G
Drivers are responsible for driving
safely. Always comply with all traffic
rules and regulations regardless of the fact that your vehicle is equipped
with EyeSight. Always maintain a safe
following distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings and
driving conditions, and take neces- sary actions in order to maintain a
safe following distance.
Never attempt to drive relying on Eye-
Sight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the
driver in making decisions in order to
reduce the risk of accidents or dam- age and lessen the burden on the
driver.
When an EyeSight warning is acti-
vated, pay attention to what is in front
of you and to your surroundings, and take necessary acti ons. This system
is not designed to support driving in
poor visibility or in extreme weather conditions, or to protect against care-
less driving when the driver is not
paying complete attention to the road ahead. It also cannot prevent colli-
sions from occurring in all driving con-
ditions.

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.
A
1724-5. EyeSight
EyeSight includes the following
functions.
■Pre-Collision Braking System
This function uses a following dis-
tance warning feature to warn the
driver to take evasive action when
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle, pedestrian or obsta-
cle in front of you. If the driver does
not take evasive ac tion, the brakes
are applied automatically to help
reduce vehicle co llision damage or,
if possible, help prevent a collision.
NOTICE
●Make sure that the stereo camera's
field of view is not interfered.
Obstructing the stereo camera’s view may impair the system opera-
tion. For details, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●Keep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the
windshield has become fogged, or
it has a dirt or an oil film on it, the stereo camera may not detect
objects accurately and the EyeSight
system may not oper ate correctly. Never mount any device to the
center air vent, as any airflow
change may impact EyeSight per- formance.
●Do not place any stickers or acces-sories on the windshield (outside or
inside). If you have to do so (for
example, legally required or elec- tronic toll tag), avoid the area
directly in front of the camera. Oth-
erwise, it may adversely affect the field of view of the stereo camera
and can cause improper operation
of the system. For details, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
●Do not use any glass coating
agents or similar substances on the windshield. Doing so may interfere
with the proper operation of the sys-
tem.
●Do not install any film or an addi-
tional layer of glass on the wind- shield. The system may not operate
correctly.
●If there are scratches or cracks on
the windshield, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●To have the windshield replaced or repaired, it is recommended con-
tacting any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
In case of replacement or repair, to
continue to use EyeSight function- ality, do not install a windshield
other than a genuine Toyota wind-
shield or a third party windshield that matches the quality of genuine
Toyota windshields.
Inferior parts can prevent the stereo camera from being able to detect
objects accurately, and the Eye-
Sight system may not operate prop- erly. Toyota and Toyota dealer(s)
are not liable for any damage that
may be caused by the use of parts other than genuine Toyota parts.
In order to continue to use EyeSight
functionality, stereo camera adjust- ment is necessary when a wind-
shield is reinstalled or replaced. For
further details concerning stereo camera adjustment, it is recom-
mended contacting any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
capable of EyeSight service.

*: If equipped
Some unusual noises may be audible
during automatic braking. This is caused
by the braking control and is normal.
Pre-Collision Braking
System*
When there is the risk of a
rear-end collision with an
obstacle or pedestrian in front,
the EyeSight system helps to
prevent or minimize a collision
by warning the driver. If the
driver still does not take eva-
sive action to avoid a collision,
the brakes can be automati-
cally applied just before the
collision in order to reduce
impact damage, or if possible,
prevent the collision. If the
driver takes evasive action to
avoid a collision, Pre-Collision
Braking Assist will operate in
order to help the driver to pre-
vent or minimize the collision.
This function can be activated
when the shift lever is in the D,
M or N position.
WA R N I N G
●Never use Pre-Collision Braking
System and Pre-Collision Braking
Assist to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions.
These functions cannot prevent col-
lisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision
Braking System for Brake opera-
tion, collisions may occur.
●When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle
and its surroundings, and operate
the brake pedal and/or take other actions if necessary.
●The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to pre-
vent rear-end collisions with other
vehicles when possible or to mini- mize damage and injuries in the
event of a collision. In addition to
other vehicles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestri-
ans can also be treated as obsta-
cles. However, there may be cases when detection is not possible
depending on a variety of condi-
tions*2. For example, when a vehi- cle is viewed from the side,
oncoming vehicle, vehicles
approaching in reverse, small ani- mals or children, or walls or doors
are not likely to be detected.
●Pre-Collision Braking System will
operate at the point when it deter-
mines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply
strong braking force just before a
collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of condi-
tions*2. Because of this, perfor-
mance of this function will not always be the same.
●When Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to oper-
ate even if the accelerator pedal is
partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator
pedal is suddenly or fully
depressed.
●If the driver depresses the brake
pedal or turns the steering wheel,
the system may deter mine that this constitutes evasive action by the
driver, and the automatic braking
control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.

●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.
