CAUTION

■

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 cor-

rectly determining the direction the driver is facing, resulting in an unexpected acci-

dent.

●

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 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.

■

Determining the direction the driver is facing (vehicles with driver monitor sen-

sor)

The direction the driver is facing 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.
