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.

NOTICE
●Under the conditions listed below, it
will become more difficult for the
system to detect the vehicle in front, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians
and obstacles on the road, and lane
markers. Also, EyeSight may tem- porarily stop operating. However,
the temporary stop will be canceled
once these conditions have
improved and the vehicle is driven for a short period of time.
• Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In par- ticular, the system is more likely to
temporarily stop operating when
there is an oil film adhering to the windshield, a glass coating has
been applied, or poorly performing
wipers are used.
• Strong light is coming from the front
(sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming traffic, etc.).
• The windshield washer is in use.
• Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on
the windshield are not wiped off suf- ficiently.
• 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 cam-
era’s field of view. Also, light is
reflecting off the dirt, etc.
• The vehicle is tilted at an extreme
angle due to loaded cargo or other factors.
• 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.
• The stereo camera’s field of view is
obstructed.
• Through the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• The rear aspect of the vehicle in front is low, small or irregular (for
example a low bed trailer, etc.).
• The obstacle is a fence, a wall or a
shutter, etc. with a uniform pattern
(a striped pattern, brick, etc.) or with no pattern in front.
• The obstacle is a wall or door made of glass or a mirror in front.
• Driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that does
not have its taillights on
• Driving through a banner or flag,
low branches on a tree or thick/tall
vegetation
• On steep uphill or downhill grades
• The stereo camera is obstructed by
a hand, etc. (If even one of the
lenses is obstructed, the system does not operate properly.)
• It is completely dark and no objects are detected.
• The area around the vehicle has a uniform color (such as when com-
pletely covered in snow, etc.).
• Accurate detection is not possible
due to reflections in the windshield.
●Under the conditions listed below,
EyeSight may temporarily stop
operating. If this occurs, EyeSight will resume operating when the
conditions improve.
• The temperature inside the vehicle
is high, such as after the vehicle was left in bright sunshine, or the
temperature inside the vehicle is
low, such as after the vehicle was left in an extremely cold environ-
ment.
• Immediately after the engine starts

●Under the conditions listed below, it
is difficult to recognize vehicles in
front, motorcycles, pedestrians, obstacles on the road, traffic lanes,
etc. Also, the EyeSight system may
temporarily stop operating. If the EyeSight system repeatedly stops
operating several times, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer and have the sys-
tem inspected.
• The stereo camera lenses are smeared such as from fingerprints.
• The stereo camera has become misaligned due to a strong impact.
●When there is a malfunction in the EyeSight system, turn off Pre-Colli-
sion Braking System (P.183) and
Lane Departure Warning (P.215), and stop using Adaptive
Cruise Control and Conventional
Cruise Control. Contact any author- ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer and have the system inspected.
●When the slip indicator is illumi-nated, Pre-Collision Braking Sys-
tem may not operate properly. If the
slip indicator is illuminated, turn off Pre-Collision Braking System. Also,
do not use Adaptive Cruise Control
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.
1704-5. EyeSight
NOTICE
●The stereo camera lenses are pre-
cision components. Always observe
the following precautions espe- cially when handling them.
• Never touch the stereo camera
lenses, and do not attempt to wipe or clean the lenses. Doing so could
damage or soil the lens, and lead to
improper system performance. If
you ever touch a lens for any rea- son, be sure to contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer capable of EyeSight ser-
vice. Replacement and service
works of EyeSight components will be necessary.
• When cleaning the windshield, cover the front of the camera casing
with paper that does not collect
dust, such as copy paper. Affix the paper to prevent glass cleaner from
getting on the camera lenses. At
this point, make sure that the tape’s adhesive surface does not come in
contact with the windshield or the
lens. Be sure to remove the paper after cleaning.
• When having the inside of wind- shield cleaned at a service station,
etc., be sure to request that the
attendant covers the camera covers before washing the vehicle.
• Do not subject the stereo camera to a strong impact.
• Do not remove or disassemble the stereo camera.
• Do not change the positions where the stereo camera is installed or
modify any of the surrounding
structures.
●In case of replacement or repair, to
continue to use EyeSight function- ality, do not install an interior rear-
view mirror other than a genuine
Toyota interior rearview mirror or a third party interior rearview mirror
that matches the size (and contour)
of genuine Toyota interior rearview mirrors. A wider interior rearview
mirror can affect the stereo cam-
era’s field of view and EyeSight functionality 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.

●Do not install any accessories other than the ones designated by Toyota
on the prohibited areas shown in
the illustrations (grey zones). Even if some accessories are
installed on the outside of the pro-
hibited areas, abnormal operation of EyeSight may occur due to the
reflection of the light or any objects.
In this situation, move the accesso- ries. For details, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●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
