■Pre-collision warning 
When  the  system  determines 
that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal 
collision  is  high,  a  buzzer  will 
sound  and  a  warning  message 
will  be  displayed  on  the  multi- 
information  display  to  urge  the 
driver to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist 
When  the  system  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal  co lli- 
sion is  high,  the  system applies  greater braking  force in  relat ion to 
how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking 
If  the  system  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  frontal  coll ision  is 
extremely  high,  the  brakes  are  automatically  applied  to  help  av oid 
the collision or reduce the impact of the collision.
■Emergency steering assist (for region A) 
If  the  system  determines  that  the  possibility  of  a  collision  wi th  a 
pedestrian  is  high  and  that  there  is  sufficient  space  for  the  v ehicle 
to be steered into within its lane, and the driver has begun ev asive 
maneuver  or  steering,  emergency  steering  assist  will  assist  the 
steering  movements  to  help  enhance  the  vehicle  stability  and  fo r 
lane departure prevention.

WARNING
■Emergency steering assist (for region A) 
● As emergency steering assist operation will be canceled when the system 
determines that lane departure prevention function has been com pleted. 
● Emergency steering assist may not operate or may be cancel in the follow- 
ing cases as the system may determine the driver is taking acti ons. 
• If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the stee ring wheel 
is  being  operated  sharply,  the  brake  pedal  is  being  depressed  o r  the 
turn signal lever is being  operated. In this case, the system m ay deter- 
mine that the driver is taking evasive action and the emergency  steering 
assist may not operate. 
• In  some  situations,  while  the  emergency  steering  assist  is  ope rating, 
operation  of  the  function  may  be  canceled  if  the  accelerator  pe dal  is 
depressed strongly, the steering wheel is operated sharply or t he brake 
pedal  is  being  depressed  and  the  system  determines  that  the  dri ver  is 
taking evasive action. 
• When  the emergency  steering  assist  is  operating,  if the  steeri ng  wheel 
is  held  firmly  or  is  operated  in  the  opposite  direction  to  that   which  the 
system is generating torque, the function may be canceled. 
■ When to disable the pre-collision system 
In  the  following  situations,  disable  the  system,  as  it  may  not  operate  prop- 
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or ser ious injury: 
● When the vehicle is being towed 
● When your vehicle is towing another vehicle 
● When  transporting  the  vehicle  via  truck,  boat,  train  or  similar  means  of 
transportation 
● When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the hybrid system on and the tires 
are allowed to rotate freely 
● When inspecting  the vehicle using a  drum tester such  as a  chassis dyna- 
mometer  or  speedometer  tester,  or  when  using  an  on  vehicle  whee l  bal- 
ancer 
● When a  strong impact is  applied to  the front  bumper or front  grille, due to 
an accident or other reasons 
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi- 
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning 
● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road 
● When the tires are not properly inflated

■Lane departure alert function 
When  the  system  determines 
that  the  vehicle  might  depart 
from its lane or course*,  a 
warning  is  displayed  on  the 
multi-information  display,  and  a 
warning  buzzer  will  sound  to 
alert the driver.
When  the  warning  buzzer  sounds, 
check the area around your vehicle 
and  carefully  operate  the  steering 
wheel  to  move  the  vehicle  back  to
the center of the lane. 
Vehicle  with  BSM:  When  the  sys- 
tem  determines  that  the  vehicle
might  depart  from  its  lane  and  that 
the  possibility  of  a  collision  with  an 
overtaking  vehicle  in  the  adjacent
lane  is  high,  the  lane  departure 
alert  will  operate  even  if  the  turn 
signals are operating.

■ Lane departure alert function 
● The  warning  buzzer  may  be  difficult  to  hear  due  to  external  noise,  audio 
playback, etc. 
● If  the  edge  of  the  course*  is  not  clear  or  straight,  the  lane  departure  alert

*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or 
a curb 
■ Hands off steering wheel warning 
● When  the  system  determines  that  the  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the 
steering wheel while the system is operating 
If  the  driver  continues  to  keep  their  hands  off  of  the  steering   wheel,  the 
buzzer  sounds,  the  driver  is  warned  and  the  function  is  tempora rily  can- 
celed. This warning also operates in the same way when the driv er continu- 
ously operates the steering wheel only a small amount. 
● When  the  system  determines  that  the  vehicle  may  deviate  from  the  lane 
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function  is operating. 
Depending  on  the  vehicle  condition  and  road  conditions,  the  war ning  may 
not  operate.  Also,  if  the  system  determines  that  the  vehicle  is  driving 
around a curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straigh t-lane driving. 
● When  the  system  determines  that  the  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the 
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering  assist function 
is operating. 
If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering  wheel and the 
steering  wheel  assist  is  operating,  the  buzzer  sounds  and  the  d river  is 
warned.  Each  time  the  buzzer  sounds,  the  continuing  time  of  the   buzzer

wheel.  Always  keep  your  hands  on  the 
steering  wheel  when  using  this  system,
regardless of warnings.
