Stereo Camera

Through the windshield glass, check if there are any fingerprints or faults such as crack found on the lens at the left and right camera lenses of the stereo camera.

NOTE:

Do not remove the camera or camera cover to check the lens.
When spider's webs or insects are found within the camera view or inside the lens hood, remove the cover assembly stereo camera and remove spider's webs or insects by blowing air, etc. Scratches and dirt on the lens and lens hood will affect the performance. Therefore, do not clean with hands or cloths. Ref. to EYESIGHT>STEREO CAMERA>REMOVAL
Thin and uniform adhesion of dust, dirt or tobacco stains to the lens surface resulting from normal use will not be an obstacle. Do not attempt to clean in such cases.
If an oil film such as a fingerprint or any excessive dirt adheres, or if the lens cracks, replace the stereo camera. Ref. to EYESIGHT>STEREO CAMERA
If the fingerprint adhesions or cracks occur on the lens, the following failures may arise.
- The vehicle may not be able to detect the preceding vehicle or obstacle due to the effects of the headlight of the oncoming vehicle.
- The vehicle may not be able to detect the preceding vehicle or obstacle due to the effects of the brake light operation of the preceding vehicle.
- All the functions of the EyeSight may be suspended by the self-diagnosis function equipped with the camera.
Do not clean the lens with any cleaner. It is quite difficult to uniformly clean both of the right and left lenses, and such an attempt just ends up spreading dirt and will cause problems as same as those from oil film.
