Pre-Collision Braking System
28
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illu-
minate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated and the engine output, in some
situations, is also controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action
(braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activa-
tion is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control and the engine output control are continued.
Even after the vehicle has stopped, depress the brake pedal.
Vehicle restart:
After the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, brake will be
slightly released 2 seconds after vehicle stop. After sounding a short tone “beep, beep,
ding”, the vehicle starts creeping. To stop the vehicle completely, depress the brake pedal
after the vehicle has stopped.
Pre-Collision Braking System operation

Pre-Collision Braking System
30
ŸContinued from previous page
When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated (when the system determines that there
is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front), if the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the system determines that this is emergency braking and activates braking assist automat-
ically.xNeither first braking nor secondary braking will operate in the following
cases.
- When the vehicle is traveling at approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) or less
(When the select lever is in the position and your vehicle speed is
approximately 2 MPH (4 km/h) or less) or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or more
- When Vehicle Dynamics Control is active
xIf the system detects the brake lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle
will start decelerating earlier than if it does not.
xThere are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period
of time. One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with
an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control
may be activated.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation
CAUTION
If the driver depresses the brake pedal manually while following distance
warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. (The
vehicle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver.)
NOTE
xPre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle
speed is approximately 7 MPH (10 km/h) or less or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or
more.
xFor information about the braking assist function, refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control
33
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. The system uses
the vehicle’s conventional braking system to stop your vehicle when the vehicle in front is
stopped. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between approximately 0 and
90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.

WARNING
xThis system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
xDo not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to pre-
vent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
xSet the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
xBefore using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
Ÿ Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.

Lane Sway Warning
This function detects wandering or drifting within a lane, and warns the driver. When Lane
Sway Warning activates, a buzzer sounds 6 short beeps, the steering wheel indicator light
blinks, and the lane indicator lights on the multi information display blink alternately left and
right.
This function activates when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 38 MPH (60 km/h)
and deactivates when the vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h). If the
vehicle speed exceeds approximately 38 MPH (60 km/h) later, the function activates again.
WARNING
Lane Sway Warning will not operate in all conditions. It also will not automati-
cally correct wandering. If the driver relies only on the Lane Sway Warning to
prevent the vehicle from wandering, an accident may occur.
CAUTION
Under the following conditions, the Lane Sway Warning may not operate.
xWhen driving on a winding road
xWhen vehicle speed changes greatly
xImmediately after a lane change
xWhen it is difficult for the EyeSight stereo cameras to detect lane markings
- There are no lane markings or they are the very worn.
- It is difficult to detect lane markings as they are similar in color to the
road surface.
- The lane markings are narrow.

Troubleshooting
88
EyeSight does not restart after a temporary stop.
Has the vehicle been parked in a cold or hot place? In either of these cases,
EyeSight may temporarily stop operating until the temperature increases or
decreases to a temperature at which the camera is operable.
Are you driving in the rain with poorly performing wipers or is there an oily film on
the windshield?
Replace the wipers with new ones, or clean the oily film off the windshield.
Are you driving in poor weather conditions with heavy rain, snow, fog, or dust? In
these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating while visibility is very low.
Is your vehicle subject to sunlight from the front (sunset or sunrise, etc.) or to
bright headlights from oncoming vehicles at nighttime?
In these cases, EyeSight may temporarily stop operating.
The timing of the “brake more” warning is sometimes earlier and sometimes later
than what seems to be normal operation.
The “brake more” warning sounds when the system determines that more braking
is necessary, based on conditions such as the distance from the vehicle in front
and the difference in speed compared to it. As a result, timing may vary depend-
ing on how the brakes are applied in relation to the vehicle in front, and your rela-
tive speed to that vehicle.
When the vehicle in front has turned off the road away or the distance from the
vehicle in front has increased, acceleration is sometimes slower or faster.
Depending on the timing of when the detection of the vehicle in front is lost,
EyeSight’s ability to react may be slower, causing the start of acceleration to feel
delayed and braking time to feel longer than what seems to be normal operation.
