Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides steering assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display. Use the
system when you drive the vehicle on
roads with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LAS
:
 The LAS is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the system is not
designed to compensate for a
driver’s lack of caution, and
over-reliance on the system could
lead to an accident.

▼System Operation
When the ignition is switched ON, the
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/
risk avoidance support system) (white)
turns on and the system goes on
standby.
NOTE
If the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (white) does not turn on, the
system is canceled using the
i-ACTIVSENSE OFF switch or the
personalization feature.
Operation conditions
When all of the following conditions
are met, the i-ACTIVSENSE status
symbol (warning
/risk avoidance
support system) on the
multi-information display changes
from white to green and the system
becomes operational.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph) or faster.
The system detects white (yellow)
lane lines.
NOTE
When the system does not detect a
white (yellow) lane line on one side
only, the system does not operate on
the side that is not being detected.
When temporarily canceling the
system
The LAS goes on standby in the
following cases: The LAS operation is
automatically restored when the
system's operation conditions are met.
The system cannot detect white
(yellow) lane lines.
The vehicle speed is less than about
56 km/h (35 mph).
The turn signal lever is operated.The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The TCS/DSC is operating.The DSC is turned o ff.The steering wheel is operated.The brake pedal is operated.
The function is temporarily stopped.
The LAS stops functioning in the
following cases:
The temperature in the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is too high or
too low.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is foggy.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is blocked by
an obstruction, causing poor forward
visibility.
Strong light (such as sunlight, or
headlights (high-beam) of
on-coming vehicles) is directed at
the forward sensing camera (FSC).

Smart Brake Support(SBS)
*
▼Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The SBS alerts the driver of a possible
collision using the warning indications
in the display and a warning sound if
the front radar sensor and Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) determine that
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, pedestrian, or a
bicycle. Furthermore, if a collision is
unavoidable, the automatic brake
control is performed to reduce damage
in the event of a collision. In addition,
when the driver depresses the brake
pedal, the brakes are applied
firmly
and quickly to assist.
(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
When the SBS determines that the
driver is not paying attention to the
road using the driver monitoring
camera and it determines that there is
the possibility of a collision with an
obstruction, the SBS activates the
collision warning earlier than normal.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the SBS:
The SBS is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision.
The ability to detect obstructions is
limited depending on the obstructions,
weather conditions, or traffic
conditions. Over reliance on the
system leading to the accelerator pedal
or brake pedal being mistakenly
operated could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the system
o ff to prevent an unexpected
operation.
 The vehicle is being towed or when
towing another vehicle.
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
 When driving on rough roads such as
in areas of dense grass or o ff-road.
See the next page on how to turn off
the system.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-160.
Operation conditions
The SBS operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The ignition is switched ON.The SBS is on.The i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light is not
turned on.
(Object is vehicle ahead)
The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h
(2 mph) or higher.
(Object is a pedestrian or bicycle)
The vehicle speed is between about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph).
The DSC does not operate.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
SBS may not operate.
If there is the possibility of hitting
only a part of a vehicle or
obstruction ahead.
You are driving your vehicle at the
same speed as the vehicle ahead.
When the driver deliberately
performs driving operations
(accelerator operation, steering
wheel operation).
