■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that the 
vehicle might depart from its lane or 
course
*, a warning is displayed on the 
multi-information display, and either a 
warning buzzer will sound or the steer-
ing wheel will vibrate to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or the 
steering wheel vibrates, check the area 
around your vehicle and carefully operate 
the steering wheel to move the vehicle 
back to the center of the lane.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor: When 
the system determines that the vehicle 
might depart from its lane and that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an overtaking 
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the lane 
departure alert will operate even if the turn 
signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side  of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb
■Steering assist function
When the system determines that the 
vehicle might depart from its lane or 
course
*, the system provides assis-
tance as necessary by operating the 
steering 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 a fixed 
amount of time or the steering wheel is not 
being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed 
on the multi-informat ion display and the 
function is temporarily canceled.
Vehicles with Blind Spot Monitor: When 
the system determines that the vehicle 
might depart from its lane and that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an overtaking 
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the 
steering assist function will operate even if 
the turn signals are operating.

●When the system determines that the 
driver is driving without holding the steer-
ing wheel while the system is operating
If the driver continue s to keep their hands 
off of the steering wheel, the buzzer sounds, 
the driver is warned and the function is tem-
porarily canceled. This warning also oper-
ates in the same way when the driver 
continuously operates the steering wheel 
only a small amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert 
type is set to “Steering wheel vibration”.
●When the system determines that the 
vehicle may not turn and instead depart 
from its lane while driving around a curve
Depending on the vehicle condition and 
road conditions, the warning may not oper-
ate. Also, if the system determines that the 
vehicle is driving around a curve, warnings 
will occur earlier than during straight-lane 
driving.
●When the system determines that the 
driver is driving without holding the steer-
ing wheel while the st eering wheel assist 
of the steering  assist function is operat-
ing.
If the driver continue s to keep their hands 
off of the steering wheel and the steering 
wheel assist is operating, the buzzer sounds 
and the driver is warned. Each time the 
buzzer sounds, the continuing time of the 
buzzer becomes longer.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert 
type is set to “Steering wheel vibration”.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system determines that the vehi- cle is swaying while the vehicle sway warn-
ing function is operating, a buzzer sounds 
and a warning message urging the driver to 
rest and the symbol sh
own in the illustration 
are simultaneously di splayed on the multi-
information display. 
Depending on the vehicle and road condi-
tions, the warning may not operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is dis-
played on the multi-in formation display and 
the LTA indicator illuminates in orange, fol-
low the appropriate troubleshooting proce-
dure. Also, if a different warning message is 
displayed, follow the  instructions displayed 
on the screen.
●“LTA Unavailable”
The system is temporarily canceled due to a 
malfunction in a sensor  other than the front 
camera. Turn the LTA system off, wait for a 
little while, and then  turn the LTA system 
back on.
●“LTA Unavailable at Current Speed”

WARNING
●Assisting the driver to judge proper 
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range determines whether the 
following distance be tween the driver’s 
own vehicle and a designated vehicle 
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is 
not capable of making any other type of 
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely 
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not 
there is a possibility of danger in any 
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the 
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range does not include func-
tions which will prevent or avoid colli-
sions with vehicles ahead of your vehicle. 
Therefore, if there is ever any possibility 
of danger, the driver must take immedi-
ate and direct control of the vehicle and 
act appropriately in  order to ensure the 
safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic 
radar cruise control with full-speed 
range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range in any of the follow-
ing situations. 
Doing so may result in inappropriate 
speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians, 
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those cov-
ered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there 
are sudden changes between sharp up 
and down gradients 
Vehicle speed may exceed the set 
speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and highways
●When weather conditions are bad 
enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detectin g correctly (fog, 
snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on the 
front surface of the radar or front cam-
era
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and 
deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is 
heard often

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 
328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the cu rrent vehicle-to-vehicle following dis-
tance, and operates to maintain a suitab le following distance from the vehicle 
ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the 
vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicl e-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of  you, the system automatically decelerates 
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies 
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The sy stem will respond to changes in 
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by 
the driver. Approach warning warns you when th e system cannot decelerate sufficiently to 
prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. 
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehi cle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts off,  pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing 
the accelerator pedal (start-off  operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off 
operation is not performed, system contro l continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane while driving at 
50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the  vehicle will quickly accelerate to help to overtake a pass-
ing vehicle.
