■Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
Do not overly rely on the pre-crash safety system. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-crash safety system is intended to assist
the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK-JUDGE-ACT. There are
limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind the
following important points.
●Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-crash safety system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the
vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or
inattentive driving, and it is not a system th at can assist the driver in low-visibility con-
ditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.
●Assisting the driver in making correct judgement
When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data available to
the pre-crash safety system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of
the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely nece ssary for the driver to remain vigilant and
to determine whether or not there is a possibility of collision in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver in taking action
The pre-crash safety system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce the
severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a collision is
unavoidable. This system by itself is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision
or bringing the vehicle to a stop safely. For this reason, when encountering a danger-
ous situation the driver must take direct and immediate action in order to ensure the
safety of all involved.
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary in any of the following situations.
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the functioning
of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage com-
partment etc.)
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

Audio system
CT200h_OM_OM76135E_(EE)
■Traffic information
Press the “TA” button.
TP mode:
The system automatically switches to traffic information when a broadcast
with a traffic information signal is received.
The station returns to the previous one when the traffic information ends.
TA m o d e :
Traffic information can be heard only when a signal is received. The system
switches to the mute mode when a signal is not received. In CD or MP3/WMA
mode, the system automatically switches to traffic information when a signal is
received.
The audio system returns to the mute, CD or MP3/WMA mode when the traffic
information ends.
Audio system mode changes as follows each time the “TA” button is pressed:
FM modes: “TP” → “TA” → off
Modes other than the radio modes: “TA” → off
■Emergency broadcast reception mode
“ALARM” appears in the display in the event that an emergency broadcast is
received, and the emergency broadcast is aired.
■EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are liste ning to is not broadcasting a traffic infor-
mation program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic announcement) mode, the
radio will be switched automatically to a station broadcasting a traffic information pro-
gram in the EON AF list when traffic information begins.
■When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
All preset stations are erased.
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all time s is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●When the “AST” button is used, automati c station selection may not be possible.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
■Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio
The optional radio antenna and tuner are necessary for the use of Digital Audio Broad-
cast (DAB) radio.
