5-4. Using the driving support systems
When driving on a road with
clear lane lines with the dynamic
radar cruise control operating,
lane lines and preceding and
surrounding vehicles are
detected using the front camera
and radar sensor, and the steer-
ing wheel is operated to maintain
the vehicle’s lane position.
Use the this function only on highways
and expressways.
If the dynamic radar cruise control is
not operating, the function will not oper-
ate.
In situations where the lane lines are
difficult to see or are not visible, such as
when in a traffic jam, support will be
provided using the path of preceding
and surrounding vehicles.
If the system determines that the steer-
ing wheel has not been operated for a
certain amount of time or the steering
wheel is not being firmly gripped, the
driver will be alerted via a display and
this function will be temporarily can-
celed.
If the steering wheel is firmly gripped,
the function will begin operating again.
 When the function is operating, if
the vehicle is likely to depart from
its lane, the driver will be alerted
via a display and buzzer.
When the buzzer sounds, check the
area around the vehicle and carefully
operate the steering wheel to move the
vehicle back to the center of the lane.

( 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.

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.

detected, the system will determine
the vehicle is not deviating from the lane and the warning will not operate.
■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.
