EyeSight*1, 2
EyeSight is a driving sup-
port system that uses a
range of functions to assist
the driver in making deci-
sions in order to provide for
more safe and comfortable
driving and to reduce driver
fatigue. Making use of
images created by the ste-
reo camera, EyeSight
detects vehicles, obstacles,
traffic lanes and other items
ahead.
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving
safely. Always comply with all traf-
fic rules and regulations regard-
less of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with EyeSight. Always
maintain a safe following dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings
and driving condi tions, and take
necessary actions in order to
maintain a safe following dis-
tance.
Never attempt to d rive relying on
EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the
driver in making decisions in order
to reduce the risk of accidents or
damage and lessen the burden on
the driver.
When an EyeSight warning is
activated, pay attention to what is
in front of you and to your sur-
roundings, and take necessary
actions. This system is not
designed to support driving in
poor visibility or in extreme
weather conditions, or to protect
against careless driving when the
driver is not paying complete
attention to the road ahead. It also
cannot prevent c ollisions from
occurring in all driving conditions.

■Operating conditions of
hill-start assist control
When the following conditions are
met, the hill-start assist control will
operate:
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: The shift lever is in D or
M (when starting off forward on
while facing uphill) or in R (when
starting off backward while facing
downhill).
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: The shift lever is in a position
other than R (when starting off for-
ward while facing uphill) or in R
(when starting off backward while
facing downhill).
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The accelerator pedal is not
depressed.
●The parking brake is not engaged.

2624-6. Using other driving systems
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
The TRAC system is also
equipped with the brake LSD
function.
■Hill-start assist control
P.259
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are operating
The slip indicator will flash while the
TRAC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Pressing switch to turn
the system off may make it easier
for you to rock the vehicle in order to
free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving
safety and performance, the
following systems operate
automatically in response to
various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that
these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily
when operating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems

2644-6. Using other driving systems
*1: Vehicles with an automatic transmission
*2: Vehicles with a manual transmission
■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC
and VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or
just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when t he above sys-
tems are operating. None of these
indicates that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate
slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sou nd (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be automatically reactivated in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned
off.
●If only the TRAC sy
stem is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed is more than
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic
reactivation will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return
to normal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “ TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.
