1684-5. EyeSight
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

●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 without the
headlights on
