Troubleshooting
98
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Has the vehicle been parked in a cold or hot place? In either of these cases,
EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or
decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.
Are you driving in the rain with old wipers or is there an oily film on the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very low.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking
is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front
and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depend-
ing on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your rela-
tive speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the road away or the distance from the
vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.

Troubleshooting
99
Cruise control is canceled automatically.
Did you perform one of the following operations?xManually depressing the brake pedal
x Pressing the (CRUISE) switch
- If the (CRUISE) switch is pressed while the cruise control is set, the cruise control will be canceled.
x Staying on a steep slope
x Turning the steering wheel sharply
x Operating the paddle shift lever
x Shifting the select lever to the position
x Unfastening the seatbelt.
x Parking brake is applied.
Has the EyeSight system temporarily stopped?
A noise occurs when automatic braking control activates.
This is the sound of the automatic braking control operating - there are some
mechanical components to the system, and they do occasionally make audible
sounds during automatic braking control. It is not necessarily a malfunction.
Braking control activates frequently when driving in heavy traffic.
Unlike a human driving, the EyeSight system performs control based only on the
actions of vehicles or objects in front. As a result, acceleration and deceleration
may be more frequent while the system adjusts to vehicles or objects the camera
system is detecting. If it is difficult to maintain a consistent following distance
under certain conditions (like in bad weather or urban environments, etc.), do not
use Adaptive Cruise Control.
