Traffic 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 traffic 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 k eeping the vehicle within the lane lines. If lane
lines are not detected, the function provides th e driver driving assistance in keeping the
vehicle along the motion path with the vehicle ahead.
WA R N I N G
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 acco rding to the road conditions and the weather
conditions.
 The TJA may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead
and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Add\
itionally, the
system might be unable to decelerate suffic iently if a vehicle ahead applies the brakes
suddenly, another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, or the difference in vehicle speed
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is larger, which could result in an accident.
Check the surrounding conditions and always drive carefully while keeping a safe distance
from vehicles ahead and on-coming vehicles.

For the purposes of safety, switch the TJA off when it is not being used.
Leaving the TJA turned on when it is not in us e is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly,
resulting in an accident.

Do not use the TJA under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.
 General roads other than expressways or high ways (Driving under these conditions using
the TJA is not possible.)
 Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle tr affic is heavy with insufficient space between
vehicles, or roads where frequent and repet itive acceleration and deceleration occur
(Driving under these conditions using the TJA is not possible).
