About EyeSight
CAUTION
• The characteristics of the stereo camera are similar to those of human eyes.
For this reason, conditions 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 controllable target and to warn the driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehicle
cannot be detected.
S03873
• 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 temporarily 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 particular,
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 sufficiently.
- The windshield has become fogged, scratched, 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.
