WARNING
Follow all the instructions described in this section.  
Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or  serious injury. 
■ Trailer towing precautions 
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are excee ded. 
( P. 297) 
■ To avoid accident or injury 
● Vehicles with a compact spare tire: 
Do not tow a trailer when the compact spare tire is installed o n your vehi- 
cle. 
● Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: 
Do not tow a trailer when the tire installed is repaired with t he emergency 
tire puncture repair kit. 
● Do not use the following systems when trailer towing. 
• Cruise control*
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range*
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)*
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)*
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)* 
*: If equipped 
■ Vehicle speed in towing 
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing. 
■ Before descending hills or long declines 
Reduce  speed  and  downshift.  However,  never  downshift  suddenly  w hile 
descending steep or long downhill grades. 
■ Operation of the brake pedal 
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods  of time.  
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking  effects.
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer lights 
Directly  splicing  trailer  lights  may  damage  your  vehicle’s  elec trical  system 
and cause a malfunction.

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
