longer met, a function may be tempo- rarily canceled. However, when the
operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function is automati- cally restored. ( P.246)
■Steering assist function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the func-
tion is operating or the function may not operate at all.
●The steering control of the function is overridden by the driver’s steering
wheel operation.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of
the steering assist function.

■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel and the symbol shown in the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display to warn the
driver. The warning stops when the sys-
tem determines that the driver holds the
steering wheel. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel wh ile 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 temporarily canceled. This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small amount.
●When the system determines that the vehicle may not turn and instead
depart from its lane while driving
around a curve
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not operate. Also, if t he system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straight-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 driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con- tinuing time of the buzzer becomes
longer.
■Vehicle sway warning function

■Before using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range
●Driving safely is the sole responsi-
bility of the driver. Do not rely solely
on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to
your surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range provides driv-
ing assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance pro-
vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead:
P.259

2504-5. Using the driving support systems
WA R N I N G
• Conditions under which the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode may not function correctly: P. 2 5 9
●Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con-
ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-
ble for checking the set speed.
●Even when the system is function-
ing normally, the condition of the preceding vehicle as detected by
the system may differ from the con-
dition observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always
remain alert, assess the danger of
each situation and drive safely. Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures
safety while driving can lead to an accident, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range setting
to off, using the cruise control main switch when not in use.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance provided by the system . Failure to do
so may cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure fol- lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism
that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s
surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range determines whether
the following distance between the
driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is within a set
range. It is not capable of making any
other type of judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver
to remain vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include functions which will prevent or avoid
collisions with vehicles ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any possibility of danger, the driver must
take immediate and direct control of
the vehicle and act appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all
involved.

■Situations unsuitable for
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control
and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp
up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high-
ways
●When weather conditions are bad
enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain,
etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on
the front surface of the radar or
front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

2524-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to -vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of const ant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is de tected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identificat ion of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the v ehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from wher e the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any precedi ng vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.256)
2Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
