CAUTION
■
Handling the camera sensors
Observe the following to ensure that the PCS functions correctly:
●
Keep the windshield clean at all times.
PCS effectiveness may be reduced due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●
Do not change the installation position of a camera sensor, or remove and rein-
stall it. The direction of a camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the upper
part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images. In
such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm, dry air to the wind-
shield.
●
Do not place anything on the dashboard.
Images reflected on the windshield may reduce the effectiveness of a camera
sensor.
●
Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near a camera sensor.
■
Determining the direction the driver is facing
The direction the driver is facing may not be determined correctly if any of the fol-
lowing conditions exist:
●
There is an object between the driver monitor sensor and the driver’s face, such
as when the sensor is blocked.
●
A part of the driver’s face is covered.
●
The sensor or the driver’s face is exposed to intense light such as sunlight.
●
The driving posture is improper.
■
Headlights
The near-infrared ray transmitter projects strong energy that is not visible. Although
the transmitter normally turns off when the vehicle is stopped, never look into the
headlights for your safety.
■
Limitations of the pre-collision system
Do not rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
