detected due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a
faraway lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without its headlights turned
on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs and other reflective
objects may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following factors may affect
the amount of time taken for the
high beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights,
fog lights, and ta il lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
• When there is a lag in response due to the limitat ions of the detec-
tion range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be abl e to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necess ary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms, etc.)
• When the windshi eld is obscured
by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the stereo camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the ste-
reo camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights,
tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding
vehicle
• When driving through an area of
intermittently changing brightness
and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly
driving ascending/descending
roads, or roads with rough, bumpy
or uneven surfaces (such as
stone-paved roads, gravel roads,
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly
taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• When there is a h ighly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such
as a sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding
vehicle is highly reflective, such as
a container on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being
towed, etc.
• Immediately after the engine is
started
• When the headlights are changed between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal
manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or
dazzling pedestrians or other driv-
ers

WARNING
There are limits to the EyeSight
recognition performance and con-
trol performance. Be sure to read
the instructions for each function
before using the system, and
always use it properly. Improper
use may lead to failure of control
performance, which could cause
an accident.
Refer to the fo llowing pages for
each function:
●For Pre-Collision Braking Sys-
tem, refer to P.179.
●For Adaptive Cruise Control,
refer to P.190.
●For Conventional Cruise Con-
trol, refer to P.207.
●For Pre-Collision Throttle Man-
agement, refer to P.215.
●For Lane Departure Warning,
refer to P.220.
●For Lane Sway Warning, refer
to P.222.
●For Lead Vehicle Start Alert,
refer to P.224.
In left-hand drive vehicles, Eye-
Sight is configured for driving on
the right-hand side of the road.
However, it can be reconfigured
by changing the driving lane set-
ting for driving o n the left-hand
side.
* (P.400)
If the setting for the traffic lane
(driving side of the road) does not
match the traffic lane, full Eye-
Sight performance may not be
available.
*: Characteristics and settings that are affected by specific differ-
ences between right-hand drive
and left-hand drive vehicles
cannot be changed.
●The system may not operate
correctly under the conditions
listed below. When these condi-
tions occur, turn off Pre-Colli-
sion Braking Sy stem. Also, do
not use Adaptive Cruise Control
or Conventional Cruise Control.

NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are simila r to those of
human eyes. For this reason,
conditions that make it difficult
for the driver to see in the for-
ward 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 sys-
tem 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 sys-
tem to detect it as a controllable
target and to warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the
vehicle cannot be detected.

WARNING
The speed difference between
your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
mph (5 km/h) or less (As braking
is performed once the obstacle is
in close proximity to your vehicle,
depending on the shape and size
of the obstacle, there may be
some cases when the obstacle is
outside the range of the camera’s
field of view.).
On sharp curves, steep uphill
grades or steep downhill grades
On a bumpy or unpaved road
There are changes in bright-
ness, such as at a tunnel
entrance or exit.
●Do not test Pre-Collision Brak-
ing System on its own. It may

Adaptive Cruise Control is
designed for use on expressways,
freeways, toll roads, interstate
highways and similar limited
access roads. It is not intended to
be used in city traffic. In the fol-
lowing conditions, do not use
Adaptive Cruise Control. Doing so
may result in an accident.

WARNING
●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, water
spray from road sprinklers or
snow clearing sprinklers on the
road, or dust stir up generated
by the vehicle in front or oncom-
ing traffic.
• Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or water or other
substances may be incorrectly
detected instead, making cor-
rect control impossible.
●In adverse weather, such as
heavy snow or snowstorms
●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 camera’s field of view.
Also, light is reflecting off the
dirt, etc.
●Water droplets from rain or the
window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the wind-
shield.
• It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making cor-
rect control impossible.
●The stereo camer a’s field of
view is obstructed.
The stereo camera may have diffi-
culty detecting the following
objects or conditions. Operate the
brake pedal and take other
actions as necessary.
●Vehicles at significantly different
speeds (vehicles driving slowly,
stopped or oncoming vehicles,
etc.)
●Vehicles cutting into your lane
●Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans and animals, etc.
●Light is poor in the evening or
early morning.
●At night or in a tunnel without
the headlights on
●At night or in a tunnel when
there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its tail lights on
●Strong light is coming from the
front (sunlight or headlight high
beams, etc.).
2364-6. Using other driving systems
trying to overtake
●On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect
vehicles driving in a lane next to
the neighboring lane.
While the BSD/RCTA is active,
the following item(s) will operate
to alert the driver:
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator (when there are
vehicles in the neighboring
lanes).
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator and warning buzzer
(when a vehicle is approach-
ing from the left or right side
while your vehicle is revers-
ing)
■BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator
It is mounted on each side of the
outside mirrors.
The indicator will illuminate
when a vehicle approaching
from behind is detected.
The indicator will flash to warn
the driver of dangers under the
following conditions.

nating, if the turn signal lever

will be reduced.
●You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
under the following conditions.
• When sunlight shi nes directly on it
• When the headlight beams from a vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
●While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward
position, even if the headlights are
turned on, the brightness of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator will
not be reduced. For details about
the illumination bri ghtness control
dial, refer to P.91.
■BSD/RCTA approach warn-
ing buzzer (only when
