■ Handling the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor sensor)
Observe the following to ensure the driver monitor sensor can function effectively.
Failure to do so may result in a malfunction or may prevent the system from correctly
determining the direction the driver is facing, resulting in an unexpected accident.
● Do not disassemble, damage, lift or pull on the sensor.
● Do not touch the sensor while driving.
● Do not wet or spill water on the sensor.
● Do not drop anything on or allow anything to hit against the sensor. Do not subject the
sensor to an impact.
● Make sure that there are no scratches, dirt or stickers on the side of the sensor that
faces the driver.
● Do not place any objects in front of the side of the sensor that faces the driver or
cover the sensor.
■ Determining the direction the driver is facing (vehicles with driver monitor sensor)
The direction the driver is facing may not be determined correctly if the following con-
ditions 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.
■ Precautions for cleaning the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor sen-
sor)
● Gently wipe the sensor with a soft cloth to prevent damage.
● Wipe any excess dirt with a cloth dampened with neutral detergent, all liquids having
been wrung out of the cloth. After that, wipe again with a dry cloth.
● Do not use benzene, thinner, glass cleaners, wax, etc.
