Also, the indication on the information display and the dual sensor brake support indicator light will go off 3 seconds after the automatic brake system is released.
A CAUTION
After the vehicle has been stopped by the automatic brake system, immediately depress the brake pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with the automatic transmission, and when the automatic brake system is released, the vehicle will start to move by the creeping function. This may result in an accident.
NOTE: If you do not depress the clutch pedal when the vehicle has been stopped by the automatic brake system, the engine will stall.

Brake assist system Under the followings and there is a high probability of a frontal collision, the brake assist system provides more powerful braking when you slam down on the brake pedal. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 15 km/h to 80 km/h (9 mph to 50 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 15 km/h to 60 km/h (9 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
When the brake assist system activates, the frontal collision warning also activates at the same time.
Automatic brake system Under the followings and a frontal collision is judged to be unavoidable, the brakes will powerfully operate automatically. When you are operating at speeds between approximately 5 km/h to 100 km/h (3 mph to 62 mph).(For pedestrian, operating speed is between approximately 5 km/h to 60 km/h (3 mph to 37 mph).) The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
When the automatic brake system is activated at a speed of approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or under toward the vehicle in front of you (or toward the pedestrian, approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or under), collisions may be avoidable.
While the automatic brake system is activating, the interior buzzer will continuously beep, the dual sensor brake support indicator light will blink rapidly, the indication on the information display will appear, and the brake lights will come on.

A WARNING
• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation. Also the system is not designed to avoid the lane deviations automati~ cally. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. Depending on road surface conditions, you may n~t feel the vibration of the steering wheel even when the lane departure warning works. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself.
Situations where the system does not activate Under the following situations, the system does not activate. , When dual sensor brake support indicator light and lane departu_re warni~g i~dicator light are 1nitially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" When the following switches are pushed and the system is turned off: -Lane departure warning OFF switch -ESP® OFF switch When operated the hazard warning switch When the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning
When the system judges that the intentional lane change, such as during or after fiashing the turn signal lights
Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. , When you suddenly close to the partition
lines When driving on sharp curves When you do not return to inside of th_e lane after the lane departure warning 1s activated When the electric power steering light
comes on
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, t~~ _system may also not activate. Refer to Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.
Situations where the system may activate by chance Under the following situations, the system may activate. • When there are a lot of lines in the running lane When there is a shadow (for example, the shadow of the guardrail) parallel to the partition line When partition line is in the shadows When partition lines are drawn doubly When there is a liner paint on the road of a construction zone because the previous line has not been erased completely When there is repair marks on the road or a boundary between asphalt and snow When there is tyre marks on snow-covered or wet road When driving in the place without partition lines (such as a tailgate or checkpoint, or at an intersection, etc.) When driving on the road diverges, merges, etc. When driving on an unpaved or rough road
Vehicle swaying warning
When you are operating at a speed of approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) or over and the vehicle swaying warning judges that your vehicle is unsteadiness by detecting the meandering patterns or lane departure warning is activate_d in a s_hort period of time in a row following warnings will work.
