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 target obstacle and to warn the driver .
Example of the range of the stereo camera ’ s field of view
Low objects surrounding the vehicle cannot be detected .
H00075
• Under the conditions listed below , it will become more difficult for the system to detect the vehicle in front , motorcycles , cyclists , 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 .
