The EyeSight system can also
detect pedestrians. The EyeSight
system detects pedestrians from
their size, shape and movement.
The system detects a pedestrian
when the contour of the head and
shoulders are clear.
Approx. 1-2 m (3 1/3 ft - 6 2/3 ft)

●The exhaust gas emitted by the
vehicle in front is clearly visible in
cold weather, etc.
●There is an obstacle on a curve or
intersection.
●A vehicle or an object is being nar-
rowly passed.
●Stopping very close to a wall or a
vehicle in front
●Passing through water spray from

If there are installed accessories, etc. that are protruding beyond the edge
of the front bumper, the vehicle’s
length will increase and the system may not be able to prevent a collision.
If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is normal.
By depressing the brake pedal further you can apply more braking force.
Detection of pedestrians
WA R N I N G
The EyeSight system ’s Pre-Collision
Braking function also identifies pedes-
trians as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there
may be cases when the system can-
not detect a pedestrian. In the follow- ing conditions, the possibility that the
system may not be able to detect a
pedestrian as an object is particularly high.
●Pedestrians are walking in a group.

Driving
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

changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated.
Despite any evasive action ta ken by the driver, if the system subsequently deter-
mines that a collision is unavoidable, braking and engine output are controlled by
the system.
When the vehicle is comple tely stopped by the automatic braking system, a short
tone “3 intermittent beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long beep” will sound and braking will
be gradually released and the vehicle will start creeping. To stop the vehicle com-
pletely, depress the brake pedal after the vehicle has stopped.
●Neither first braking nor secondary brak ing will operate in the following cases.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 1 km/h (1 mph) or less (When the shift lever is in the N position and your vehicle speed is approximately 4 km/h (2 mph) or less)
or 200 km/h (125 mph) or more.
• VSC is active.
●If the system detects th e stop lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle will start
decelerating earlier than if it does not.
●There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period of time.
One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control may be activated.
After the Pre-Collision Braking System operation, a message appears and
stays on the meter display for a certain period of time.

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.
●Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that
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.
The system may not operate correctly
under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
