●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

SEA (Safe Exit Assist)*
The Safe Exit Assist is a sys-
tem that uses radar sensors
installed on the inner side of
the rear bumper to help occu-
pants judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may collide
with a door to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings.
●Safe Exit Assist is a supplementary system that, when the vehicle is stopped, informs occupants of the
existence of approaching vehicles and bicycles. As this system alone cannot be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor- rectly under certain conditions, visual confirmation of safety with
the passengers’ own eyes and mir- rors is necessary.
