3325-3. Operating the lights and wipers
5-3.Operating the lights and wipers
Operating the switch turns
on the lights as follows:
1 The front position, tail,
license plate and instrument
panel lights turn on.
2 The headlights and all lights
listed above turn on.
3 The headlights, daytime
running lights ( P.332) and all
the lights listed above turn on
and off automatically.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The power switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the hybrid system is started and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch in the
position. (Illuminate brighter than
the front position lights.) Daytime run- ning lights are not designed for use at
night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield. Doing so inter-feres with the sensor detecting the level
of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight system to malfunc-tion.
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in or
position: The headlights and front fog
lights turn off after the power switch is turned to ACC or OFF.
●When the light switch is in posi-
tion: The headlights and all lights turn off after the power switch is turned to
ACC or OFF.
To turn the lights on again, turn the power switch to ON, or turn the light
switch to position once and then
back to or position.
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the driver’s door
is opened while the lights are turned on
with the power switch in ACC or OFF.

●The PCS warning light will turn on and
“VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake
System Unavailable” will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
*: If equipped
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
*
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow)
lane lines, this function alerts
the driver when the vehicle
might depart from its lane or
course
* and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course
*. Furthermore,
the system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with full-
speed range is operating to
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) lane lines or a
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects pre-
ceding vehicles using the front
camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass,
soil, or a curb

3805-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.

switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator
will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
