Troubleshooting A vehicle (in front of your vehicle) is not detected, is detected later or detection is lost quickly. Is the vehicle in front stopped, moving slowly relative to your vehicle or moving extremely slowly? Detection of stopped vehicles, vehicle moving slowly relative to your vehicle, and vehicles moving extremely slowly may be difficult. Is the windshield dirty or fogged? If the windshield is dirty or fogged, it may not be possible to detect object or vehicles. Clean off the dirt or fog from the windshield, and then try using the system again. Is the vehicle in front far away? The maximum detection distance of EyeSight’s stereo cameras is approximately 260 ft (80 m). Detection is not possible if the vehicle is farther away. Is the vehicle on a curve? The detection range is limited in the left and right directions to approximately a 25degree arc from the vehicle centerline when the cameras are properly aimed. Is the vehicle on a road with repeated uphill and downhill grades (such as an overpass), or on a banked road? The detection range is limited in the up and down directions. Did the vehicle detected in front change? Detection may be delayed after the vehicle in front has changed. Have water, snow or other substances been kicked up by the vehicle in front as it drives? When water or snow have been kicked up, it may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front. Control is activated even though no vehicle in front is detected? Is there a vehicle in the neighboring lane? Depending on the road conditions, vehicles in neighboring lanes may be detected as well as a vehicle directly in front. Are you driving on or near a curve? When driving on a curve, braking control may be activated in response to guard rails, the angle of the steering wheel, or roadside structures. 79
