■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released with the
headlight switch in the position.
(Illuminate brighter than the front posi-
tion lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or
anything that blo cks the sensor is
affixed to the windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the autom atic headlight sys- tem to malfunction.

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)*
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow)
lane lines, this function alerts
the driver when the vehicle
might depart from its lane or
course* and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course*. Furthermore,
the system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating to
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) la ne lines or a
course* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects
preceding vehicles using the
front camera and radar.

2304-5. 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.
