■ Headlights (vehicles with camera sensors)
● Observe the following to ensure proper near-infrared ray projection:
• Keep the headlights clean at all times.
• The detection performance may deteriorate if the high beams are misaligned
or inoperative.
● The near-infrared ray transmitters project strong energy that is not visible.
Although the transmitters normally turn off when the vehicle is stopped, never
look into the headlights for your safety.
■ Determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are
open or closed (vehicles with driver monitor system)
The direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are open or closed
may not be determined correctly if the following 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.
● The vehicle is parked.
■ Handling the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor system)
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 cor-
rectly determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver's eyes
are open or closed, resulting in an unexpected accident.
● Do not disassemble, damage, lift or pull on the sensor.
● Do not select 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 sub-
ject 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.
