Hands-free driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for about 15 seconds on a straight road
or about 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the
multi-information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will
be temporarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly
touching the steering wheel, this may also be detected as hands-free driv-
ing.
When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available for a while after driving has
started. In such cases, turn the LKA system off and turn it on again after nor-
mal temperature returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and
the temperature around the camera sensor becomes suitable for its opera-
tion, the functions will begin to operate.
Warning lights and messages for LKA
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. (P. 619)
CAUTION
Before using the LKA system
Do not rely on the LKA system to remain within a selected lane. The LKA
system is not designed to enable inattentive driving. The steering wheel
should be operated by the driver to maintain the vehicle in a suitable position
within its lane. Always drive carefully.

When driving
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)Turning off TRC and VSC
Push and hold the button for
more than 3 seconds while the
vehicle is stopped to turn off
TRC and VSC.
The slip indicator light will come
on and a message will be shown
on the multi-information display.
Push the button again to turn the
system back on.
Reactivation of the TRC/VSC systems after turning off the engine
Even after the TRC/VSC systems have been turned off, turning the engine
off and then on again will automatically reactivate the TRC/VSC systems.
Reactivation of the TRC system linked to vehicle speed
When only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC system will turn on when
vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety)
: If equipped
When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the
pre-crash safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are
automatically engaged to lessen impact and injuries to occupants
as well as vehicle damage.
Pre-crash seat belts
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable,
the pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the
collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking
or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 110)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
Pre-crash brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and
buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision
speed. Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash
braking OFF switch.

Adjusting the settings
Adjusting the temperature setting
Turning to the right increases the temperature and turning
to the left decreases the temperature on the driver’s side.
The air conditioning system switches between dual and simultaneous
modes each time is pressed.
Turning to the right increases the temperature and turning
to the left decreases the temperature on the passenger’s side.
Operating the passenger’s side temperature control will enter dual
mode.
Dual mode (the indicator on is on): The temperature for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat can be adjusted separately.
Simultaneous mode (the indicator on is off): Only can be
used to adjust the temperature for all seats.
Adjusting the fan speed
