■Dynamic radar cruise control sys-
tem warning messages and buzz- ers
For safe use: P. 2 7 5
■Preceding vehicles that the sensor
may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depending on the conditions, if the system cannot pro-
vide sufficient deceleration or accelera- tion is necessary, operate the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning ( P.313) may not
operate.
●When a vehicle cuts in front of your
vehicle or changes lanes away from your vehicle extremely slowly or quickly
●When changing lanes
●When a preceding vehicle is driving at a low speed
●When a vehicle is stopped in the same lane as the vehicle
●When a motorcycle is traveling in the same lane as the vehicle
■Conditions under which the system may not operate correctly
In the following situations, operate the brake pedal (or accelerator pedal, depending on the situation) as neces-
sary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect a vehicle, the system may
not operate properly.
●When a preceding vehicle brakes sud-
denly
●When changing lanes at low speeds,
such as in a traffic jam
In situations where the vehicle
approaches a preceding vehicle
and the system cannot provide suf-
ficient deceleration, such as if a
vehicle cuts in front of the vehicle, a
warning display will flash and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Depress the brake pedal to ensure
appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following situations, the
warning may not operate even
though the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance is short.
When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at the same speed or
faster than your vehicle
When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely low
speed
Immediately after the vehicle
speed has been set
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed
When a curve is detected, the vehi-
cle speed will begin being reduced.
When the curve ends, the vehicle
speed reduction will end.
Depending on the situation, the vehicle
speed will then return to the set vehicle
speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control needs to operate, such
as when a preceding vehicle cuts in
front of your vehicle, the curve speed
reduction function will be canceled.

■Situations in which the curve speed reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may not operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven around a gentle curve
●When the accelerator pedal is being depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven around an extremely short curve
If a detected vehicle in the passing
lane is traveling slower than your
vehicle, overtaking will be sup-
pressed.
The overtaking prevention function will
not operate if the passing lane is con-
gested or vehicles are traveling at low
speeds.
This function is not available for vehi-
cles without a DCM.
If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) or
more and a lane change to the
passing lane is performed, when
the turn signal lever is operated and
the lane is changed, the vehicle will
accelerate up to the set speed to
assist in overtaking.
For vehicles with a DCM: The system’s
recognition of which lane is the passing
lane is determined by location informa-
tion and the driving condition of sur-
rounding vehicles. The support for lane
change function and overtaking preven-
tion function may not operate if it is diffi-
cult to obtain location information or
there are few surrounding vehicles.
For vehicles without a DCM: The sys-
tem’s recognition of which lane is the
passing lane may be based solely on
the location of the steering wheel in the
vehicle (left-hand drive/right-hand
drive). If the vehicle is driven in a loca-
tion where the passing lane is on the
opposite side of that where the vehicle
was originally sold, the vehicle may
accelerate when the turn signal lever is
operated away from the passing lane.
(e.g. The vehicle was manufactured for
a right-hand traffic location, but is being
driven in a left-hand traffic location. The
vehicle may accelerate when the turn
signal lever is operated to the right.)
If your vehicle is being driven at approx-
imately 80 km/h (50 mph) or more and
the lane is changed to that with a vehi-
cle traveling slower than your vehicle,
when the turn signal lever is operated
the vehicle will gradually decelerate to
assist in changing lanes.

■The dynamic radar cruise control with road sign assist may not oper-
ate properly when
As the dynamic radar cruise control with road sign assist may not operate prop-
erly in situations where the RSA may not operate or cannot detect signs correctly ( P.304), when using this function,
make sure to confirm the actual speed limit.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not change to the detected speed limit by pressing and holding the “+” switch or “-” switch:
●When speed limit information is not available
●When the detected speed limit is the same as the set speed
●When the detected speed limit is out-side of the speed range which the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
The settings of Dynamic radar

WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the responsi-
bility of the driver. Therefore, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is solely responsible for pay-
ing attention to the vehicle’s sur- roundings and driving safely.
●Set the speed appropriately accord-ing to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather condi-
tions, etc. The driver is responsible for confirming the set speed.
■Situations in which cruise con-trol should not be used
Do not use the cruise control in the
following situations. As the system will not be able to provide appropriate control, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp
up and down gradients Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●When it is necessary to disable the system: P.275

Operation of this system is sepa-
rated into 4 control states. Through
control state “warning phase 1” and
“warning phase 2”, the system
determines if the driver is aware
and responsive while outputting a
warning and controlling the vehicle
speed. If the system determines the
driver is not responsive, it will oper-
ate in control state “deceleration
stop phase” and “stop hold phase”
and decelerate and stop the vehi-
cle. It will then operate continuously
in “stop hold phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system operates when all of the fol- lowing conditions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 50 km/h (30 mph) or more
■Operation cancelation conditions
In the following situations, system oper- ation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been canceled
(the LTA switch has been pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise con-trol has been canceled
●When driver operations are detected (the steering wheel is held, the brake pedal, accelerator pedal, parking
brake, hazard light switch, or turn sig- nal lever is operated)
●When the driving assist switch is pressed while in the stop and hold phase
●When the power switch has been turned from ON to OFF

WARNING
●Although the emergency driving stop system is designed to deceler-
ate the vehicle within its lane to help avoid or help reduce the impact of a collision if the system
determines that it is difficult for the driver to continue driving, its effec-tiveness may change according to
various conditions. Therefore, it may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance.
Also, if the operating conditions are not met, this function will not oper-ate.
●After the emergency driving stop system operates, if driving
becomes possible again, immedi- ately begin driving again or, if nec-essary, park the vehicle on the
shoulder of the road and set a warning reflector and flare to warn other drivers of your stopped vehi-
cle.
●After this system operates, passen-
gers should attend to the driver as necessary and take appropriate hazard prevention measures, such
as moving to a place where safety can be ensured, such as the shoul-der of the road or behind a guard-
rail.
