LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDP system. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions for prop-
er use of the LDP system could result in
serious injury or death.
.The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply cor-
rective steering to complete your
lane change.
.Because the LDP may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in this
section, it may not activate every
time your vehicle begins to leave its
lane and you will need to apply
corrective steering.
.The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot detect
lane markers..Do not use the LDP system under
the following conditions as it may
not function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) .
— When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow.
— When driving on winding or
uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due
to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or
temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where
the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal
tire conditions (for example, tire
wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels) .
— When the vehicle is equipped
with non-original brake parts or
suspension parts.
.The system may not function prop-
erly under the following conditions:— On roads where there are multi-
ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued
lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp
curves.
— On roads where there are shar-
ply contrasting objects, such as
shadows, snow, water, wheel
ruts, seams or lines remaining
after road repairs. (The LDP
system could detect these items
as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling
lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di-
rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the
vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera unit

detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt adheres
to the windshield in front of the
lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens or
if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the
lane camera unit. (For example,
the light directly shines on the
front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
— When a sudden change in
brightness occurs. (For example,
when the vehicle enters or exits
a tunnel or under a bridge.)
.Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the
LDP system is operating properly.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
.When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the
direction of the signal. (The LDP system will
be deactivated for approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is turned off.)
.When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h) .
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
warning and assist functions will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following conditions
(warning is still functional):
.When the brake pedal is depressed.
.When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary for the vehicle to change lanes.
.When the vehicle is accelerated during the
LDP system operation..When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs (if so equipped) .
.When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
.When driving on a curve at high speed.
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDP system application of the brakes will
resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
LDP system will be turned off automatically.
.“Not available: Poor Road Conditions”:
When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System (TCS) function) or ABS
operates.
.“Currently unavailable”:
When the VDC system is turned off.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, turn
off the LDP system. Push the LDP switch again
to turn the LDP system back on.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h) .
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
*1
illuminates.If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-
ness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after
the driver activates the turn signal, then only the
side indicator light flashes and no chime sounds.
For additional information, refer to “BSW driving
situations” (P.5-46).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the RCTA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects.
When backing out of a parking
space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move.
Never rely solely on the RCTA sys-
tem.
The RCTA system will assist you when backing
out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in
reverse, the system is designed to detect other
vehicles approaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it will
alert you.

5-70Starting and driving
.The chime sounds.
.The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
.When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
.When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is
increasing
.When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
.Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
.The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
radar sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor
may detect these objects when the vehicle
is driven on winding roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have tomanually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
.When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
.When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
.When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied
.When the VDC system is turned off
.When VDC (including the traction control
system) operates
.When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
.When a wheel slips
.When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted

limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use
the system in city traffic or con-
gested areas.
.This system will not adapt automa-
tically to road conditions. This sys-
tem should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp curves,
or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in
fog.
.As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function, never
rely solely on the ICC system. This
system does not correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded driv-
ing, or overcome poor visibility in
