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.

●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.

Adaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways,
toll roads, motorways and similar lim-
ited access roads. It is not intended to be used in city traffic. In the following
conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. Doin g so may result in an accident.
●Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
• Depending on the driving environ-
ment (complexity of roads and other factors), the system may not
be able to perform as the traffic
conditions require, and that may result in an accident.
●Sharp curves or winding roads
●Frozen roads, snow-covered roads
or other slippery road surfaces
• The tires may spin, causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
●Traffic conditions when frequent
acceleration and deceleration make
it difficult to maintain the following
distance
• It may not be possible for the sys-
tem to perform as the traffic condi-
tions require.
