Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or traveling
very slowly, if the system determines that the
accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, a buzzer will sound
several short beeps, and “Obstacle Detected”
will be shown on the warning screen area of
the multi information display. The lead vehicle
indicator will also flash.
This function only activates when the trans-
mission select lever is in the or posi-
tion.

WARNING
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid
collisions in many situations. Always check the select lever and pedal
positions as well as the surrounding environment before starting and
operating the vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management could result in an accident.
x Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
x Pre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
x Pre-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.)
x Do 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.

Lane Departure Warning
When vehicle speed is approximately 30 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 steering
wheel indicator and right/left lane indicator on the multi information display all flash at the
same time.
* The illustration depicts a vehicle departing the left lane.
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.
