Tra ffic Jam Assist (TJA)*
▼ Tra
ffic Jam Assist (TJA)
The TJA is a system which consists of a
headway control function and a
steering assist function for reducing
driver fatigue during tra
ffic jams when
driving on expressways or highways.
This system performs headway control
to maintain a constant distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead at a preset vehicle speed
without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedal. Even
further, with the steering assist
function, when vehicle lane lines are
detected, the function assists the driver
in keeping the vehicle within the lane
lines. If lane lines are not detected, the
function provides the driver driving
assistance in keeping the vehicle along
the motion path with the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on TJA:
 The TJA is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the functions
have limitations. Do not rely
completely on the system and always
stay on course using the steering
wheel.
 Set a vehicle speed within the speed
limit according to the road
conditions and the weather
conditions.
