■When a vehicle is traveling ahead
When a vehicle ahead of yours is detected entering the Traffic Jam Assist detection
area, Traffic Jam Assist adjusts the speed of your vehicle to maintain the selected
interval between your vehicle and the one ah ead. It also applies steering torque to
keep your vehicle in the ce nter of the detected lane.
Keep your vehicle near the center of the lane
while driving.u Traffic Jam Assist will be activated once
the camera has detected the white
(yellow) traffic lane lines on either side of
the lane and the radar sensor and
camera have detected a vehicle driving
ahead.
The dotted outer lines change to solid
ones and a vehicle icon appears on the
multi-information display.

SPORT HYBRID Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM
(SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD ®)
The system controls and transfers varying amounts of motor and/or engine torque
to each wheel in accordance with the driving conditions.
SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD ® helps to enhance driving stability, and lets you handle
situations like slippery surfaces, such as snow, sand, mud, and steep hills, better
than when driving with standard two wheel drive. However, the system does not
help to enhance braking. Be cautious about the following:
• It is still your responsibility to drive safely when you steer, accelerate, and apply
brakes.
• Leave a sufficient margin when braking on slippery surfaces.
1SPORT HYBRID Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SPORT
HYBRID SH-AWD ®)
Do not drive through deep water.
The SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD ® system may not
function properly if tire type and size are mixed.
Make sure to use the same size and type of tire, and
the air pressures as specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 526
