■Enabling/disabling the pre-col-
lision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on ( →P.361)
of the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled
each time the engine switch is turned to
ON.
If the system is disabled, the PCS
warning light will turn on and a
message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
WARNING
• In some situations, while the emer- gency steering assist is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is operated sharply or the brake pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering
assist is operating, if the steering wheel is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which
the system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop- erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the
tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using
a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-ter, or when using an on vehicle
wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to
the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When tires of a size other than
specified are installed
●When tire chains are installed
●When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is
used
●If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that
may obstruct the radar sensor or front camera is temporarily installed to the vehicle

4-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course*, and also can
slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise control is
operating, this system will operate
the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Additionally,
it detects preceding vehicles using
the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)*
Summary of functions
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that
must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving
safely by paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from
driving for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off. Fail-ure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to con-
struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., are
equipped.
●When the tires have been exces-
sively worn, or when the tire infla- tion pressure is low.

●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
■Situations in which the system may
not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice
on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area
will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor
is frozen the sensor display may be
displayed abnormally, or objects, such
as a wall, may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the
vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Pedestrians that are hard to reflect
ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-lar to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction,
uneven, or waving are in the detection
range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in
front of the vehicle or runs out from
the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has been
changed due to a collision or other
impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,
or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is
malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
■Situations in which the system may
operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the system may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●When driving on a narrow road

●When there is a rut or hole in the sur-face of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grat-ing), such as those used for drainage
ditches
●When driving up or down a steep
slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb
●Driving close to columns (H-shaped
steel beams, etc.) in multi-story park- ing garages, construction sites, etc.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass
