DATE: 07/21/16
SUBJECT: Windshield Sticker Placement Guideline
INTRODUCTION:
This Service Information bulletin provides a guideline to use for placement of required or mandated
windshield stickers (inside and / or outside) on vehicles equipped with EyeSight Driver Assist
Technology and High Beam Assist (HBA) features. Examples of these types of stickers include:
•
•
•
Government facility / Military base access stickers
State-mandated Vehicle Safety Inspection and Emission Compliance stickers
Parking Permit Stickers
The cameras used by both of these features require a clear, unobstructed “view” through the
windshield for their proper operation. The illustration below shows the “Prohibited area” in gray.
Any stickers mandated to be placed within the Prohibited area should be placed to the right of the
EyeSight stereo camera and HBA camera, outside of the Prohibited area as shown in the illustration
below. Viewed from inside the vehicle, the left edge of the sticker must be placed no more than 14
inches (slightly less is preferred as a “cushion” for measuring variation) from the right edge of the
windshield as shown in the illustration and indicated by the box outlined in blue. Always consult
state and local regulations applicable to windshield sticker placement.
