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 tem-
porarily stop operating. However,
the temporary stop will be canceled
once these conditions have
ꢀ 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.
improved and the vehicle is driven
for a short period of time.
ꢀ The obstacle is a wall or door made
of glass or a mirror in front.
ꢀ Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog). In par-
ticular, 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.
ꢀ 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
ꢀ Strong light is coming from the front
(sunlight or headlight beams of
oncoming traffic, etc.).
ꢀ The stereo camera is obstructed by
a hand, etc. (If even one of the
lenses is obstructed, the system
does not operate properly.)
ꢀ The windshield washer is in use.
ꢀ Raindrops, water drops, or dirt on
the windshield are not wiped off suf-
ficiently.
ꢀ It is completely dark and no objects
are detected.

ꢀ The windshield has become
fogged, scratched or smeared, or
snow, dirt ,dust or frost has adhered

reflecting off the dirt, etc.
ꢀ Accurate detection is not possible
due to reflections in the windshield.

low, such as after the vehicle was
left in an extremely cold environ-

ꢀ Visibility is poor due to sand, smoke
or water vapor blowing in the wind,
