SituationActions
When the area around a camera is 
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged 
up, covered with condensation, ice, 
etc.), or other foreign matterUsing the wiper and A/C function, 
remove the dirt and other attached 
matter ( P.326, 334).
When the temperature around the 
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely 
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as 
after the vehicle had been parked in 
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature 
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the 
vehicle was parked,  depending on its 
type, the sunlight reflected from the 
surface of the sunshade may cause 
the temperature of the front camera 
to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after 
the vehicle is parked in an extremely 
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front o f the front camera 
is obstructed, such as when the 
hood is open or a sticker is attached 
to the part of the win dshield in front 
of the front camera.
Close the hood, rem ove the sticker, 
etc., to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collisio n System Radar 
In Self Calibration Unavailable See
