NOTICE

●

Under the conditions listed

below, it will become more diffi-

cult for the system to detect the

vehicle in front, motorcycles,

bicycles, pedestrians and obsta-

cles on the road, and lane mark-

ers. 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 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.

• The vehicle is tilted at an

extreme angle due to loaded

cargo or other factors.

• 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 or dust stir

up generated by the vehicle in

front or oncoming traffic.

• The stereo camera’s field of

view is obstructed.

• Through the entrance or exit of

a tunnel

• The rear aspect of the vehicle in

front is low, small or irregular

(for example a low bed trailer,

etc.).

• The obstacle is a fence, a wall

or a shutter, etc. with a uniform

pattern (a striped pattern, brick,

etc.) or with no pattern in front.

• The obstacle is a wall or door

made of glass or a mirror in

front.

• Driving at night or in a tunnel

when there is a vehicle in front

that does not have its taillights

on

• Driving through a banner or flag,

low branches on a tree or

thick/tall vegetation

• On steep uphill or downhill

grades

• The stereo camera is

obstructed by a hand, etc. (If

even one of the lenses is

obstructed, the system does not

operate properly.)

• It is completely dark and no

objects are detected.

• The area around the vehicle has

a uniform color (such as when

completely covered in snow,

etc.).

NOTICE

●

The stereo camera monitors

and detects smears or blurs on

the front of the camera. How-

ever, detection is not 100%

accurate.

Under certain conditions, the

function may fail to detect

smears or blurs on the front of

the stereo camera accurately. In

addition, this function may not

detect that there is snow or ice

on the windshield close to the

stereo camera. In such condi-

tions, be sure to keep the wind-

shield clean at all times
(indicated by

). Otherwise

the system may not operate cor-

rectly. When this function

detects that the front of the ste-

reo camera is smeared or

blurred, no EyeSight functions

can be activated except for

Conventional Cruise Control.

●

The stereo camera lenses are

precision components. Always

observe the following precau-

tions especially when handling

them.

• Never touch the stereo camera

lenses, and do not attempt to

wipe or clean the lenses. Doing

so could damage or soil the

lens, and lead to improper sys-

tem performance. If you ever

touch a lens for any reason, be

sure to contact your Toyota

dealer.

• When cleaning the windshield,

cover the front of the camera

casing with paper that does not

collect dust, such as copy

paper. Affix the paper to prevent

glass cleaner from getting on

the camera lenses. At this point,

make sure that the tape’s adhe-

sive surface does not come in

contact with the windshield or

the lens. Be sure to remove the

paper after cleaning.

• When having the inside of wind-

shield cleaned at a service sta-

tion, etc., be sure to request that

the attendant covers the cam-

era covers before washing the

vehicle.

• Do not subject the stereo cam-

era to a strong impact.

• Do not remove or disassemble

the stereo camera.

• Do not change the positions

where the stereo camera is

installed or modify any of the

surrounding structures.

●

Do not install an interior rear-

view mirror other than a genuine

Toyota rearview mirror (such as

a wide-type mirror) and the sun

visor. Also, use the rearview

mirror so that it does not

obstruct the stereo camera.

Failure to do so may affect the

stereo camera’s field of view

and could prevent the EyeSight

system from functioning prop-

erly.

EyeSight includes the following
functions.

■

Pre-Collision Braking Sys-
tem

This function uses a following
distance warning feature to
warn the driver to take evasive
action when there is the possi-
bility of a collision with a vehicle,
pedestrian or obstacle in front of
you. If the driver does not take
evasive action, the brakes are
applied automatically to help
reduce vehicle collision dam-
age or, if possible, help prevent
a collision. (



P.179)

■

Adaptive Cruise Control

This function maintains the set
vehicle speed and when there is
a vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane, it follows the speed
of the vehicle in front up to the
maximum of the set vehicle
speed. (



P.190)

■

Conventional Cruise Con-
trol

In this mode, the system main-
tains a constant vehicle speed.
It does not follow the vehicle in
front. This function can be used
even when the stereo camera
has temporarily stopped operat-
ing (



P.229). This function is

used by switching from Adaptive
Cruise Control to Conventional
Cruise Control. (



P.207)

NOTICE

●

Keep the windshield (outside

and inside) clean at all times.

When the windshield has

become fogged, or it has a dirt

or an oil film on it, the stereo

camera may not detect objects

accurately and the EyeSight

system may not operate cor-

rectly. Never mount any device

to the center air vent, as any air-

flow change may impact Eye-

Sight performance.

●

Do not place any stickers or

accessories on the windshield

(outside or inside). If you have

to do so (for example, legally

required or electronic toll tag),

avoid the area directly in front of

the camera. Otherwise, it may

adversely affect the field of view

of the stereo camera and can

cause improper operation of the

system. For details, contact a

Toyota dealer.

●

Do not use any glass coating

agents or similar substances on

the windshield. Doing so may

interfere with the proper opera-

tion of the system.

●

Do not install any film or an

additional layer of glass on the

windshield. The system may not

operate correctly.

●

If there are scratches or cracks

on the windshield, contact a

Toyota dealer.

Pre-Collision Braking

System

*

When there is the risk of a
rear-end collision with an
obstacle or pedestrian in
front, the EyeSight system
helps to prevent or minimize
a collision by warning the
driver. If the driver still does
not take evasive action to
avoid a collision, the brakes
can be automatically
applied just before the colli-
sion in order to reduce
impact damage, or if possi-
ble, prevent the collision. If
the driver takes evasive
action to avoid a collision,
Pre-Collision Braking Assist
will operate in order to help
the driver to prevent or min-
imize the collision.

This function can be acti-
vated when the shift lever is
in the D, M or N position.

180

4-5. EyeSight

WARNING

●

Never use Pre-Collision Braking

System and Pre-Collision Brak-

ing Assist to stop your car or

avoid a collision under ordinary

conditions. These functions

cannot prevent collisions under

all conditions. If the driver relies

only on Pre-Collision Braking

System for Brake operation, col-

lisions may occur.

●

When a warning is activated,

pay attention to the front of the

vehicle and its surroundings,

and operate the brake pedal

and/or take other actions if nec-

essary.

●

The EyeSight Pre-Collision

Braking System is primarily

designed to prevent rear-end

collisions with other vehicles

when possible or to minimize

damage and injuries in the

event of a collision. In addition

to other vehicles, things such as

motorbikes, bicycles and pedes-

trians can also be treated as

obstacles. However, there may

be cases when detection is not

possible depending on a variety
of conditions

*2

. For example,

when a vehicle is viewed from

the side, oncoming vehicle,

vehicles approaching in

reverse, small animals or chil-

dren, or walls or doors are not

likely to be detected.

●

Pre-Collision Braking System

will operate at the point when it

determines that a collision can-

not be avoided and is designed

to apply strong braking force

just before a collision. The result

of this varies depending on a
variety of conditions

*2

. Because

of this, performance of this func-

tion will not always be the same.

●

When Pre-Collision Braking

System is activated, it will con-

tinue to operate even if the

accelerator pedal is partially

depressed. However, it will be

canceled if the accelerator

pedal is suddenly or fully

depressed.

●

If the driver depresses the brake

pedal or turns the steering

wheel, the system may deter-

mine that this constitutes eva-

sive action by the driver, and the

automatic braking control may

not activate in order to allow the

driver full control.

●

When the difference in speed

with the obstacle in front is the
following figure

*1

or more, it may

not be possible to avoid a colli-

sion. Even if the speed differ-
ence is the following figure

*1

or

less, in cases such as when

another vehicle cuts in front of

you, or in other cases depend-

ing on visibility, the condition of

road surface and other fac-
tors

*2

, the function may be

unable to stop the vehicle or

may not activate. Pre-Collision

Braking Assist also may not

activate depending on the con-
ditions

mph (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approxi-
mately 20 mph (35 km/h)

:Conditions in which Pre-Colli-

sion Braking System cannot
detect obstacles:

• Distance to obstacle in front of

you, speed difference, proxim-

• Even if the obstacle is a motor-

cycle, bicycle or pedestrian,

depending on the brightness of

the surroundings as well as the

relative movement, and aspect

or angle of the object, there may

be cases when the system can-

not detect it.

• The system determines that

operation by the driver (based

on accelerator pedal operation,

braking, steering wheel angle,

etc.) is intended as evasive

action.

• Vehicle maintenance status

(brake systems, tire wear, tire

pressure, whether a temporary

spare tire is being used, etc.)

• A trailer or another vehicle, etc.

is being towed.

• The brakes are cold due to the

outside temperature being low

or just after starting the engine.

• The brakes are overheated on

downhill grades (braking perfor-

mance is reduced).

• In rain or after washing the vehi-

cle (the brakes are wet and

braking performance is

reduced.)

When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system
activates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to
activate braking control and the stop lights.

Following distance warning:

When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds
repeated short beeps and the indicators on the meter display illuminate to
warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is
not activated.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a
suitable following distance, the warning is canceled.

First braking and warning:

When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an
obstacle in front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators
on the meter display illuminate to warn the driver. Braking control may be
activated and in some situations, engine output may also be controlled. If
the system determines that the amount of evasive action (braking, steering,
etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation
is canceled.

Secondary braking and warning:

WARNING

The EyeSight system’s Pre-Colli-

sion Braking function also identi-

fies pedestrians as obstacles.

However, depending on the con-

ditions, there may be cases when

the system cannot detect a

pedestrian. In the following condi-

tions, the possibility that the sys-

tem may not be able to detect a

pedestrian as an object is particu-

larly high.

●

Pedestrians are walking in a

group.

●

A pedestrian is next to a wall or

other obstacle.

●

A pedestrian is using an

umbrella.

●

A pedestrian is wearing clothes

that are a similar color to the

surrounding environment.

●

A pedestrian is carrying bulky

luggage.

●

A pedestrian is bent over,

crouching down or lying down.

●

A pedestrian is in a dark loca-

tion.

●

A pedestrian suddenly crosses

in front of you from the side or

suddenly runs in front of you.

If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the
alert changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control
is activated. Despite any evasive action taken by the driver, if the system
subsequently determines that a collision is unavoidable, braking and
engine output are controlled by the system.
When the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, a
short tone “3 intermittent beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long beep” will sound
and braking will be gradually released and the vehicle will start creeping. To
stop the vehicle completely, depress the brake pedal after the vehicle has
stopped.

●

Neither first braking nor secondary braking will operate in the following

cases.

• The vehicle speed is approximately 1 mph (1 km/h) or less (When the shift

lever is in the N position and your vehicle speed is approximately 2 mph (4

km/h) or less) or 100 mph (160 km/h) or more.

• VSC is active.

●

If the system detects the stop lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle will

start decelerating earlier than if it does not.

●

There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period

of time. One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with

an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control

may be activated.

After the Pre-Collision Braking System operation, a message
appears and stays on the meter display for a certain period of time.

When Pre-Collision Braking
System is activated (when the
system determines that there is
a high risk of collision with an
obstacle in front), if the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the
system determines that this is
emergency braking and acti-
vates braking assist automati-

cally.
