Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)í
The LDWS system notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traffic lane using the forward sensing
camera and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane, it notifies the
driver using the multi-information display (vehicles with type A instrument cluster), and by
flashing the LDWS warning light (vehicles with type B instrument cluster) and activating
the LDWS warning beep.
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white or yellow lines.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-135.

Distance Recognition
Support System (DRSS)
í
The Distance Recognition Support
System (DRSS) measures the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead
using a radar sensor (front) while the
vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19
mph or faster), and indicates a
recommended distance to maintain
between the vehicles. Furthermore, if your
vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more
closely than the appropriate distance to
maintain between the vehicles, the
vehicle-ahead indication in the multi-
information display or the active driving
display (with active driving display) is
flashed to advise the driver to keep a safer
distance from the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance
Recognition Support System (DRSS) and
always drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support
System (DRSS) provides advice for
safer driving and notifies the driver of
a recommended, safer distance to
maintain with a vehicle ahead. The
ability to detect a vehicle ahead is
limited depending on the type of
vehicle ahead, the weather
conditions, and the traffic conditions.
Therefore, if the accelerator and
brake pedals are not operated
correctly it could lead to an accident.
Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal
while keeping a safer distance from
vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.NOTE
lThe Distance Recognition Support System
(DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
lThe ignition is switched ON.lThe Distance Recognition Support
System (DRSS) is on.
lThe selector lever is in a position other
than reverse (R).
lThe vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster
(19 mph or faster).
lThe objects which activate the system are 4-
wheeled vehicles.
lThe Distance Recognition Support System
(DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
lThe Distance Recognition Support System
(DRSS) may not operate normally under the
following conditions:
lThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
has a malfunction.
lThe vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely slow speed.
lThe system does not operate with the
following objects:
lVehicles approaching in the opposite
direction.
lStationary objects (stopped vehicles,
obstructions)
