■Detection of pedestrians
The EyeSight system can also detect
pedestrians. The EyeSight system detects
pedestrians from their size, shape and
movement. The system detects a pedestrian
when the contour of the head and shoulders
are clear.
WARNING
The EyeSight system’s Pre-Collision Braking function also treats pedestrians
as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases
when the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the
possibility that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object
is particularly high.
xWhen pedestrians are walking in a group
xWhen a pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle
xWhen a pedestrian is using an umbrella
xWhen a pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the sur-
rounding environment
xWhen a pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage
xWhen a pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down
xWhen a pedestrian is in a dark location
xWhen a pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or sud-
denly runs in front of you

Pre-Collision Braking System
28
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
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, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illu-
minate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated and the engine output, in some
situations, is also 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 activa-
tion is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control and the engine output control are continued.
Even after the vehicle has stopped, depress the brake pedal.
Vehicle restart:
After the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, brake will be
slightly released 2 seconds after vehicle stop. After sounding a short tone “beep, beep,
ding”, the vehicle starts creeping. To stop the vehicle completely, depress the brake pedal
after the vehicle has stopped.

ŸContinued from previous page
When the 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 activates braking assist automat-
ically.xNeither first braking nor secondary braking will operate in the following
cases.
- When the vehicle is traveling at approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) or less
(When the select lever is in the position and your vehicle speed is
approximately 2 MPH (4 km/h) or less) or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or more
- When Vehicle Dynamics Control is active
xIf the system detects the brake lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle
will start decelerating earlier than if it does not.
xThere 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.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation
CAUTION
If the driver depresses the brake pedal manually while following distance
warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. (The
vehicle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver.)
NOTE
xPre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle
speed is approximately 7 MPH (10 km/h) or less or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or
more.
xFor information about the braking assist function, refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. The system uses
the vehicle’s conventional braking system to stop your vehicle when the vehicle in front is
stopped. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between approximately 0 and
90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
Continued on next page Ÿ
WARNING
xThis system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
xDo not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to pre-
vent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
xSet the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
xBefore using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
Ÿ Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
- The tire pressure is not correct.

ŸContinued from previous page
xAdaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. It is not intended
to be used in city traffic. In the following conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
Depending on the driving environment (complexity of roads and other
factors), the system may not be able to perform as the traffic conditions
require, and that may result in an accident.
- Roads with sharp curves or winding roads
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Traffic conditions when frequent acceleration and deceleration make it diffi-
cult to maintain the following distance
It may not be possible for the system to perform as the traffic conditions
require.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- Roads and overpasses with repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface may be
detected instead of the vehicle in front, making correct control impossible.
- When entering a sharp curve into an interchange or junction, or a service
area, parking area, toll booth or other facilities
Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
- When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the
wind, or when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow,
dirt or dust to obscure the view
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or water or other substances
may be incorrectly detected instead, making correct control impossible.
- When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
S00652

Continued on next page Ÿ - When water droplets from rain or the window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the windshield
It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making correct
control impossible.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xThe stereo cameras may have difficulty detecting the following objects or
conditions. Operate the brake pedal and take other actions as necessary.
- Vehicles at significantly different speeds (vehicles driving slowly,
stopped or oncoming vehicles, etc.)
- Vehicles cutting into your lane
- Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians and animals, etc.
- When light is poor in the evening or early morning
- When driving at night or in a tunnel without the headlights on
- When driving at night or in a tunnel when there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its taillights on
- When affected by strong light from the front (sunlight or headlight high
beams, etc.)
- Vehicles in front that have
a rear aspect that is low,
small or irregular (the sys-
tem may recognize
another part of the vehicle
and will determine opera-
tion from that)
• An empty truck or trailer
that has no cargo in the
cargo bed being affected
by wind
• Vehicles that have cargo
protruding from their
back ends
• Non-standard shaped ve-
hicles (vehicle transport-
ers or vehicles with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
• Vehicles that are low
- Objects that are located close to the bumper of your vehicle
xWhen you do not want to use Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to turn the
(CRUISE) switch off. If the switch is left on, cruise control may be
accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an accident.
xBefore using Adaptive Cruise Control, be sure to fully verify the safety of
the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never operate the
cruise control from outside the vehicle.

Detection of the vehicle in front by the EyeSight stereo cameras
xUnder the following road conditions or conditions of your vehicle, detection
of the vehicle in front may not be possible. Vehicles in neighboring traffic
lanes or roadside objects may also be incorrectly detected. Under condi-
tions such as these, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control. If cruise control is
currently in use, operate the brake pedal and take other action as neces-
sary.
- When tracking begins from
a short following distance,
such as when the vehicle
in front is a vehicle that cut
into your lane
- When driving on curved
roads, at the start and end
of a curve and on roads
with continuous curves
(These conditions make it
difficult for the system to
detect vehicles because
they are outside the
detectable area.)
- When driving on an on-
ramp or off-ramp to a free-
way, highway, or other
restricted access road
(EyeSight Adaptive Cruise
Control is not designed for
use in this kind of driving environment.)
- When driving in an urban, or suburban environment (Adaptive Cruise
Control is not appropriate for use in these driving areas. Adaptive Cruise
Control should only be used on limited-access highways.)
