PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system uses
sensors to detect objects
( P.284) in the path of the
vehicle. When the system
determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a
detectable obj ect is high, a
warning operates to urge the
driver to take evasive action
and the potential brake pres-
sure is increased to help the
driver avoid the collision. If the
system determines that the
possibility of a collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
The pre-collision system can be
disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed.
( P.293)
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the responsi-
bility of the driver. Pay careful atten- tion to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. Never
use the pre-collision system in place of normal braking operations. This system cannot help avoid or
reduce the impact of a collision in every situation. Over-reliance on this system to drive the vehicle
safely may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■Operating conditions of function
This function is operable when all of the following conditions are met:
●The LTA system detects lane lines or
the path of preceding or surrounding
vehicles (except when the preceding vehicle is small, such as a motorcy-cle).
●The dynamic radar cruise control is operating.
●The lane width is approximately 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft.).
●The turn signal lever is not being oper-ated.
●The vehicle is not being driven around a sharp curve.
●The vehicle is not accelerating or decelerating more than a certain
amount.
●The steering wheel is not being turned
with a large force.
●The hands off steering wheel warning
( P.296) is not operating.
●The vehicle is being driven in the
center of a lane.
■Temporary cancelation of functions
●When the operating conditions are no
longer met, a function may be tempo- rarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function will automati- cally be restored. ( P.295)
●If the operating conditions of a func- tion are no longer met while the func-tion is operating, a buzzer may sound
to indicate that the function has been temporarily canceled.
●The steering assist operation of the function can be overridden by the steering wheel operation of the driver.
■Lane departure warning function
when the LTA is operating
●Even if the LDA warning method is
changed to vibration of the steering wheel, if the vehicle deviates from the lane while the LTA is operating, the
warning buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
●If steering wheel operation equivalent to that necessary for a lane change is
WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA sys-tem. The LTA system is not a sys-
tem which provides automated assistance in driving and it is not a system which reduces the amount
of attention necessary for safe driv- ing. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to their sur-
roundings and operating the steer- ing wheel as necessary to ensure safety. Also, the driver is responsi-
ble for taking adequate breaks when fatigued, such as when driv-ing for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driv-ing operations and pay careful
attention may lead to an accident.
●When not using the LTA system,
turn it off using the LTA switch.

■Hands off steering wheel warning operation
In the following situations, a message urging the driver to grip the steering wheel and the icon shown in the illustra-
tion will be displayed on the multi-infor- mation display to warn the driver. If the system detects that the steering wheel
is held, the warning will be canceled. When using the system, make sure to grip the steering wheel firmly, regardless
of whether the warning is operating or not.
●When the system determines the driver is not holding the steering wheel while the function is operating
If no operations are detected for a cer- tain amount of time, a buzzer will sound, the warning will operate, and the func-
tion will be temporarily canceled. This warning may also operate if the driver only operates steering wheel a small
amount continuously.
Depending on the condition of the vehi- cle, handle control condition and road
surface, the warning function may not operate.
The LTA will change between
enabled/disabled each time the LTA
switch is pressed.
When the LTA is enabled, the LTA indi-
cator will illuminate.

available from the navigation
system (if equipped), the sign will
be displayed on the display.
Multiple signs can be displayed.
Depending on the specifications of the
vehicle, the number of displayed signs
may be limited.
■Operating conditions of sign dis- play
Signs will be displayed when the follow-
ing conditions are met:
●The system has detected a sign
In the following situations, a displayed sign may stop being displayed:
●When a new sign has not been detected for a certain distance
●When the system determines that the road being driven on has changed, such as after a left or right turn
■Situations in which the display
function may not operate properly
In the following situations, the RSA sys- tem may not operate properly and may
not detect signs or may display the incorrect sign. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When a sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent
●When the contrast of an electronic sign is low
●When all or part of a sign is hidden by a tree, utility pole, etc.
●When a sign is detected by the front
camera for a short amount of time
●When the driving state (turning,
changing lanes, etc.) is judged incor- rectly
●When a sign is immediately after a freeway junction or in an adjacent lane just before merging
●When stickers are attached to the rear of a preceding vehicle
●When a sign similar to a system com-patible sign is detected as a system
compatible sign
