xPre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this function will not reduce acceleration in
cases where no obstacle is recognized (for example when approaching a
cliff, etc.)
xDo not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there
are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.
xIf your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
* Refer to page 57.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
• When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
• In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
• When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight high beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
• When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo cam-
eras’ field of view
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
• With small animals or children
• With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down

• When the rear aspect of the
vehicle or object in front is
small (for example a trailer,
oncoming vehicle, etc.) or
when your vehicle is too
close to it (the system may
recognize another part of
the vehicle as its rear end,
and may not operate prop-
erly)
• When there is a fence, wall
or shatter, etc., with a uni-
form pattern (striped pat-
tern, brick, etc.) or with no
pattern in front
• When there is a wall or door
made of glass or a mirror in
front
• When an obstacle (another vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, ani-
mal or child, etc.) cuts in from the side or jumps out suddenly
• When starting, if you change lanes and your vehicle is immediately behind
the obstacle
• On sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill grades
- When the system determines that steering operation by the driver is
intended as evasive action
xFor your safety, do not test the Pre-Collision Throttle Management function
by yourself. There is a possibility that the function will not work during the test
and this may cause an unexpected accident.

CAUTION
xIn the following situations, turn off Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Other-
wise Pre-Collision Throttle Management may activate unexpectedly.
- When the vehicle is being towed
- When loading the vehicle onto a carrier
- When a chassis dynamometer, free-rollers or similar equipment is used
- When a mechanic lifts up the vehicle, starts the engine and allows the
wheels to spin freely
- When passing hanging banners, flags or branches, or when thick/tall
vegetation is contacting the vehicle
- When performing sport driving on a racetrack, etc.
xThe Pre-Collision Braking System may activate in the following situations.
Therefore concentrate on safe driving.
- When your vehicle is close to the vehicle in front
- When passing through an automatic gate
- When your vehicle is in a location where the grade of the road changes
rapidly
- When passing through clouds of steam or smoke

When pressing and holding the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch for approximately
2 seconds or longer a single short beep will sound and the Pre-Collision Throttle
Management System will turn off. When this function is turned off, the Pre-Collision Braking
System OFF indicator light on the instrument panel illuminates.
To turn the system back on, press and hold the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch
again for approximately 2 seconds or longer. When this function is turned on, the Pre-
Collision Braking System OFF indicator light turns off.

xWhen Pre-Collision Throttle Management is turned off, the Pre-Collision
Braking System also turns off.
xEven when Pre-Collision Throttle Management is turned off, if the ignition
switch is turned off and the engine is restarted, Pre-Collision Throttle
Management will be turned on. The default setting for Pre-Collision
Throttle Management when the vehicle is restarted is “ON”.

Lane Departure Warning
When vehicle speed is approximately 32 MPH
(50 km/h) or more, this function warns the
driver if the system detects that the vehicle is
likely to depart the traffic lane.
When Lane Departure Warning activates, a
buzzer sounds 6 short beeps, and the steer-
ing wheel indicator and right/left lane indica-
tors on the meter display all flash at the same
time. Also, a pop-up screen will be displayed
on the multi function display.
The Lane Departure Warning will activate at a faster rate than usual if lane sway was not
avoided after the warning buzzer activated.
* Refer to page 61.
WARNING
Lane Departure Warning will not operate in all conditions. It also will not auto-
matically return the vehicle to the original lane. If the driver relies only on the
Lane Departure Warning to keep the vehicle in the lane, lane departure may
occur, resulting in an accident.
The Lane Departure Warning activates when it detects lane markings. How-
ever, it is not a function which can detect the edge of a road (shoulders or
side ditches, etc.) and warn the driver.

CAUTION
In the following situations, the Lane Departure Warning will or may not acti-
vate:
xVehicle speed is approximately 32 MPH (50 km/h) or less.
xFor approximately 7 seconds after the Lane Departure Warning activates
once
xWhen the steering wheel is turned significantly to either side
xWhen the brake pedal is depressed or immediately after it is depressed
xWhen the accelerator pedal is almost fully depressed and the vehicle is
accelerating or immediately after accelerating
xWhen the following distance behind a vehicle in front is short
xWhile the turn signal is operating and for approximately 7 seconds after the
turn signal lever has returned to its original position
xWhen the vehicle has not returned to the inside of the lane after the Lane
Departure Warning has activated
xThe lane is narrow.
xWhen it is difficult for the camera to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings (white lines, etc.) or they are very worn.
- It is difficult to detect lane markings as they are similar in color to the
road surface.
- The lane markings are narrow.
xWhen the lead vehicle has taken measures to avoid an obstacle and fol-
lowing this you have performed steering operations
NOTE
xThe following situations may cause incorrect lane detection and a faulty
Lane Departure Warning to occur.
- Tire tracks on a wet road or snow-covered road
- Boundaries between snow and asphalt, marks from road repair, etc.
- Double lane lines, etc.
- Shadows of guardrails, etc.
xWhen the Lane Departure Warning OFF indicator light is illuminated, the
Lane Departure Warning is inactive.
