When the system de termines that
the vehicle might depart from its

operating the steering wheel in
small amounts for a short period of
time to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering

not being firmly gripped, a warning is
displayed on the multi-information dis-

■Operation conditions of each func-
tion
●Lane departure alert function
This function operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
• LDA is turned on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately 50 km/h (32 mph) or more.
• System recognizes white (yellow) lane
lines or a course*. (When a white [yel-
low] line or course* is recognized on
only one side, the system will operate
only for the recognized side.) • Width of traffic lane is approximately 3
m (9.8 ft.) or more.
• Turn signal lever is not operated.
(Vehicle with BSM: Except when
another vehicle is in the lane on the
side where the turn signal was oper-
ated)
• Vehicle is not being driven around a
sharp curve.
• No system malfunctio ns are detected. ( P.226)*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
●Steering assist function
This function operates when all of the
following conditions are met in addition
to the operation conditions for the lane
departure alert function.
• Setting for “Steering Assist” in of
the multi-information display is set to
“ON”. ( P.538) • Vehicle is not accelerated or deceler-
ated by a fixed amount or more.
• Steering wheel is not operated with a steering force level suitable for chang-
ing lanes.
• ABS, VSC, TRC and PCS are not operating.
• TRC or VSC is not turned off.
• Hands off steering wheel warning is
not displayed. ( P.225)
●Vehicle sway warning function

• Width of traffic lane is approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) or more.
• No system malfunctions are detected.

■Temporary cancelation of functions
When operation 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 is automatically restored.
( P.224)
■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.
■Lane departure alert function
●The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc.
●If the edge of the course* is not clear
or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.
●Vehicle with BSM: It may not be possi-
ble for the system to determine if there is a danger of a collision with a vehicle
in an adjacent lane.
●Do not attempt to test the operation of
the lane departure alert function.*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
■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
When the system determines that the

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.234)
2Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
switch is released becomes the set
speed.
To change the set speed, press the
“+RES” or “-SET” switch until the

to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P.200, 480)
■When the sensor may not be cor- rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate the brake pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P.233) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers
with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in
the luggage compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely
high ground clearance
■Conditions under which the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions,
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect vehicl es ahead, the system may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decel-erates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or on a
bridge
●While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle
