tion
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wip-
ers operate once more time after a
short delay to prevent dripping. How-
ever, the dripping prevention does not
operate while the vehicle is moving.)
Vehicles with headlight cleaners: When
the power switch is in ON and the
headlights are on, if the lever is pulled,
the headlight cleaners will operate
once. After this, the headlight cleaners
will operate every 5th time the lever is
pulled.
■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sens-ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun
intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc., are present on the wind-shield.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is acti-vated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked, if there is washer fluid in the washer fluid tank.

WARNING
■For safe use
●The driver monitor is not designed to prevent the driver from driving carelessly or having a poor driving
posture. Pay careful attention to the sur-rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●The driver monitor cannot reduce
drowsiness. If you feel unable to concentrate or drowsy, take a break and sleep as necessary in order to
ensure safe driving.

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.

• When a detectable object is too close
to the vehicle • When there is insufficient space to perform evasive steering maneuvers
or an obstruction exists in the evasion direction• When there is an oncoming vehicle
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled through a cus-
tomize setting. ( P.568)
The system is enabled each time the
power switch is turned to ON.
When the system is disabled, the
PCS warning light will illuminate
and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.

“Later” is selected, the emer-
gency steering assist (excluding
the active steering function) will
not operate in most cases.
Vehicles with a driver monitor
camera: When the system deter-
mines that the driver is not facing
forward, the pre-collision warning
and emergency steering assist
will operate at the “Earlier” tim-
ing, regardless of the user set-
ting.
When the dynamic radar cruise
control is operating, the pre-colli-
sion warning will operate at the

• The steering wheel is not being turned
sufficiently to perform a lane change.*: Boundary between the asphalt and
grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as
a curb, guardrail, etc.
●Break suggestion function
This function is operable when all of the
following conditions are met:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 50 km/h (32 mph) or more.• The lane width is approximately 3 m
(9.8 ft.) or more.
■Temporary cancelation of functions
When the operating conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporar-
ily canceled. However, when the opera- tion conditions are met again, operation of the function will automatically be
restored. ( P.300)
■Operation of the lane departure alert function/lane departure pre-vention function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, road conditions, lane departure angle, etc.,
operation of the lane departure pre- vention function may not be felt or the function may not operate.
●Depending on the conditions, the warning buzzer may operate even if
vibration is selected through a cus- tomize setting.
●If a course* is not clear or straight, the
lane departure alert function or lane
departure prevention function may not operate.
●The lane departure alert function or lane departure prevention function may not operate if the system judges
that the vehicle is intentionally being steered to avoid a pedestrian or parked vehicle.
●It may not be possible for the system to judge if there is danger of a collision
with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
●The steering assist operation of the
lane departure prevention function can be overridden by the steering
wheel operation of the driver.*: Boundary between the asphalt and
grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as
a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Hands off steering wheel warning
operation
In the following situations, a message urging the driver to operate the steering
wheel and an icon will be displayed and a buzzer will sound to warn the driver. 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 that the driver is not securely holding the
steering wheel, or the steering wheel is not being operated when the steer-ing assist operation of the lane depar-
ture prevention function is operating
The length of time that the warning buzzer operates will become longer as
the frequency of the steering assist operating increases. Even if the system judges that the steering wheel has been
operated, the warning buzzer will sound for a certain amount of time.
■Break suggestion function
If the vehicle is swaying, a message will
be displayed and a warning buzzer will sound to urge the driver to take a break.

may not operate properly and the vehicle may depart from its lane. Do not overly rely on these functions. The
driver is solely responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering wheel as nec-
essary to ensure safety.

Dynamic radar cruise
control
This dynamic radar cruise con-
trol detects the presence of
vehicles ahead, determines the
current vehicle-to -vehicle dis-
tance, and operates to main-
tain a suitable distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired
vehicle-to-vehicle distance can
be set by operating the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance switch.
Use the dynamic radar cruise
control only on highways and
expressways.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the responsi- bility of the driver. Do not overly rely
on this system, and pay careful attention to the surrounding condi-tions in order to ensure safe driving.
●The dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden. How- ever, there are limitations to the assistance provided. Read the fol-
lowing items carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.
Conditions under which the system may not operate correctly: P.313
●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.
