LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the
LDP system. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper use of the LDP sys-
tem could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The LDP system may activate if youchange lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a con-
struction zone directs traffic to cross an
existing lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective steering to
complete your lane change.
∙ Because the LDP may not activate under the road, weather, and lane marker con-
ditions described in this section, it may
not activate every time your vehicle be-
gins 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 fol- lowing 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 tempo- rary 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, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with nonoriginal brake parts or suspension
parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
The system may not function properly un-
der the following conditions:
∙ On roads where there are multiple paral- lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc. ∙ On roads where discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
∙ On roads where there are sharp curves.
∙ On roads where there are sharply con- trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing 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 direction 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.

1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle
is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then controls the vehicle
speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.
NOTE:
∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle
ahead. The ICC system then controls the ve-
hicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.
NOTE:∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system. ∙
When the brake is applied by the system,
a noise may be heard. This is not a mal-
function.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indicator
and the speed control status indicator (dis-
tance control mode) illuminates (solid
green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop,
your vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the system capability. Once your vehicle
stops, the ICC system automatically applies
the brakes to keep the vehicle stopped. When
your vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+)
Press to start” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3 sec-
onds, your vehicle will automatically follow
the vehicle as it accelerates from a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
When your vehicle is stopped and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the RES+
switch or lightly depress the accelerator
pedal. The ICC system starts to follow the
vehicle ahead. Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) illuminates (green
outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to the
set speed, but you can depress the accelera-
tor pedal to quickly accelerate. When a ve-
hicle is no longer detected and your vehicle is
traveling under approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the ICC system automatically can-
cels.

WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a hands-
free driving. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your vehicle
safely. Failure to do so could cause a colli-
sion resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the steering wheel and a sequence
of warnings may occur. When the driver
holds and operates the steering wheel again,
the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
∙ In the following situations, the camera may not detect lane markers correctly or
may detect lane markers incorrectly and
the Steering Assist may not operate
properly: – When driving on roads where there
are multiple parallel lane markers, lane
markers that are faded or not painted
clearly, nonstandard lane markers, or
lane markers covered with water, dirt,
snow, etc.
– When driving on roads with discontin- ued lane markers
– When driving on roads with a widen- ing or narrowing lane width
– When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or unclear lane
markers due to road construction
– When driving on roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such
as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining after road
repairs (the Steering Assist could de-
tect these items as lane markers)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or separates
∙ Do not use the Steering Assist under the following conditions because the system
may not properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident. – During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
dust, etc.)
– When rain, snow, sand, etc., is thrown up by the wheels of other vehicles
– When dirt, oil, ice, snow, water, or an- other object adheres to the camera
unit
– When the lens of the camera unit is foggy
– When strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) shines on the camera
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or the head-
lights are off in tunnels or darkness
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
– When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or separates or
where there are temporary lane mark-
ers because of road construction
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs
Starting and driving5-127

The DCA system brakes and moves the ac-
celerator pedal upward according to the dis-
tance from and the relative speed of the ve-
hicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The system
will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates to a standstill. However, the DCA sys-
tem can only apply up to approximately 40%
of the vehicle’s total braking power. If a ve-
hicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
closer because the DCA system cannot de-
celerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the DCA system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify
the driver to take necessary action. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Approach warn-
ing” in this section.The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelerator
pedal upward in the normal driving condition.
When a vehicle is detected ahead:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on.When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:
∙ If the driver’s foot is not on the accelera- tor pedal, the system activates the brakes
to decelerate smoothly as necessary. If
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system.
∙ If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by driver is required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the sys-
tem moves the accelerator pedal upward to
assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal.
NOTE: ∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
