WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. This system will not pr event collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead
to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions, therefore
the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance. Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may oper ate even if there is no possibility of a collision: P. 307 • Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 310
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system yourself, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.
■Pre-crash braking*3
●When the pre-crash braking function is operating, a large amount of braking forcewill be applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function, the pre- crash braking function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-crash braking function may not operate if certain operations are performedby the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the pre-crash braking function from operating.
●In some situations, while the pre-crash brakin g function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steer-
ing wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the driver is tak- ing evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-crash braking
function.
*3: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pre-crash braking func-
tion may not be available.

■Pedestrian detection function*4
*4: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian detection func-
tion may not be available.
■Cancelation of the pre-crash braking*3
If either of the following occur while the pre- crash braking function is operating, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
*3: Depending on the region in which the vehi cle was sold, the pre-crash braking function
may not be available.
■Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that there is a possi- bility of a frontal collision and operate.
• When passing a vehicle or pedestrian*4
• When changing lanes while overtaking a preceding vehicle • When overtaking a preceding vehicle that is changing lanes
The pre-crash safety system detects pedestrians
based on the size, profile, and motion of a detected object. However, a pedestrian may notbe detected depending on the surrounding
brightness and the motion, posture, and angle of the detected object, preventing the system fromoperating properly. ( P. 312)
• When overtaking a preceding vehicle that is making a left/right turn
• When passing a vehicle in an oncoming lane that is stopped to make a right/left turn

When driving on highways and freeways with white or yellow lines, this function
alerts the driver when the vehicle might depart from its lane and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering wheel to keep the vehicle in its lane. Further-
more, the system also provides steering assistance when dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range is operating to keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LKA system recognizes visible
white or yellow lines with the camera
sensor on the upper portion of the
windshield.

◆Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane, a warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and either
the warning buzzer sounds or the
steering wheel vibrates to alert the
driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or the steering wheel vibrates, checkthe surrounding road situation and
carefully operate the steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the cen-ter within the white (yellow) lines.

◆Lane departure control function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane, the system provides assistance
as necessary by operating the steer-
ing wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the
vehicle in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been operated for afixed amount of time or the steering
wheel is not being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and the function
is temporarily canceled.
◆Vehicle sway warning
When the vehicle is swaying or
appears as if it may depart from its
lane multiple times, the warning
buzzer sounds and a message is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.

◆Lane-keeping assist function
This function is linked with radar
cruise control and provides the
required assistance by operating the
steering wheel to keep the vehicle in
its current lane.
When radar cruise control is not operating, the lane-keeping assistfunction does not operate.
Except for Israel: If the system detects that the steering wheel hasnot been operated for a fixed amount
of time or the steering wheel is not being firmly gripped, a warning is dis-played on the multi-information dis-
play and the function is temporarily canceled.
For Israel: If the system detects that
the steering wheel has not been operated for a fixed amount of timeor the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display andthe warning buzzer sounds.
