■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■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 off or in the posi-
tion. (Illuminate brighter than the front
position lights.) Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
●When the turn signal indicators are flashing, the daytime running light on
the side that the turn signals are flash-
ing will turn off.
●When the emergency flashers are
flashing, both daytime running lights will turn off.
■Headlight control sensor
In the following situations, the automatic
light control system may not operate correctly.
●When an object is placed on the sen-sor or something which blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield
●When the surrounding area is lit by light other than natural light

accelerating to the set vehicle speed,
vehicle following will be started again.
●When the brakes are applied by
Adaptive Cruise Cont rol, the vehicle’s
stop lights will illuminate.
●Even if there is no lead vehicle pres-
ent, on a downhill grade, the Adaptive Cruise Control’s automatic brake may
operate in order to maintain the set
vehicle speed.
●Some noises may be audible during
automatic braking. This is caused by the braking control and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●To temporarily accelerate quickly, use
the accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the vehicle will gradually return to the set vehicle speed shown in the set
vehicle speed display.
●If the vehicle in front is no longer
detected while your vehicle is still con-
trolled by the automatic braking oper- ation, the brake will be automatically
released gradually. Depress the
accelerator pedal if necessary.
●The lead-vehicle following function
has the following characteristics:
• If the lead vehicle’s stop lights are detected, deceleration will start earlier
than without detection.
• If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than approxi-
mately 60 km/h (37 mph), the system
starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more quickly because it is
linked with the turn signal.
• If the setting of driving lane is different
from the actual driving direction, the
vehicle may start to accelerate faster than usual when the driver signals a
lane change to move from the passing
lane to the driving lane. ( P.377)
●Cruise control acceleration character-
istics can be set to one of four levels. ( P.377)
■Increasing the set vehicle
speed
Using the cruise control switch
Push to the “+ RES” side briefly.
Every time the switch is pushed, the set
vehicle speed will increase in incre-
ments of 1 km/h (1 mph) increment.
Push to the “+ RES” side contin-
uously.
While the switch is being pushed, the
set vehicle speed will increase in incre-
ments of 5 km/h (5 mph).
When operating the switch, the set
vehicle speed changes on the
meter display.
NOTICE
If the driver operates the brake pedal
during automatic braking, the pedal
may feel stiff; however, this is not a malfunction. By depressing the brake
pedal further you can apply more
braking force. When the brake pedal is released it will return to its original
condition.

●The following situations may cause incorrect lane detection and a faulty
Lane Departure Warning to occur.
• There are tire tracks on a wet road or snow-covered road.
• There are boundaries between snow
and asphalt, or marks from road repair, etc.
• There are the shadows of guardrails.
• Lane markings are drawn in double. • There are some lane markings left
from roadwork or markings from the
previous road.
●When the Lane Departure Warning

Lane Departure War n-
ing*
When vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 50 km/h (30 mph) or
more, this function warns the
driver if the system detects
that the vehicle is likely to
depart the traffic lane.
When Lane Departure Warning
activates, an alert sounds 3
short beeps and a pop-up dis-
play will be displayed.
“Lane Departure”A
WA R N I N G
Lane Departure Warning will not oper-
ate in all conditions. It also will not
automatically return the vehicle to the original lane. If the driver relies only
on Lane Departure Warning to keep
the vehicle in the lane, lane departure may occur, resulting in an accident.
Lane Departure Warning activates
when it detects lane markings. How- ever, it is not a function which can
detect the edge of a road (shoulders
or side ditches, etc.) and warn the driver.
NOTICE
In the following situations, Lane Departure Warning may not activate:
●Vehicle speed is approximately 50 km/h (30 mph) or less.
●The steering wheel is turned signifi-cantly to either side.
●The vehicle is driving around a
curve whose radius is 300 m (0.18 miles) or smaller.
●The brake pedal is depressed or immediately after it is depressed.
●The following distance behind a vehicle in front is short.
●The turn signal is operating.
●For approximately 4 seconds after
the turn signal lever has returned to its original position.
●The vehicle has not returned to the inside of the lane after Lane Depar-
ture Warning has activated.
●The lane is narrow.
●It is difficult for the camera to detect lane markings.
• There are no lane markings or they
are very worn.

boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
• When driving on a steep incline or on
repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
• When going beyond a pass
• When both your vehicle and a vehicle
driving on a neighboring lane are
driving on the far side of each lane.
• When several narrowly-spaced vehi-
cles are approaching in a row

2564-6. Using other driving systems
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle St ability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
The TRC system is also equipped
with the brake LSD function.
■Hill-start assist control
P.253
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are
operating
The slip indicator will flash while the TRC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing switch to turn the system
off may make it easier for you to rock the
vehicle in order to free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
The TRC OFF indicator will come on.
Press switch again to turn the sys-
tem back on.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety
and performance, the following
systems operate automatically
in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems

*2: Vehicles with a manual transmission
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, TRC and
VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when
the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction
has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may
occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering. • A motor sound may be heard after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down
slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and
VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically
reactivated in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off.
●If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed is more than approximately 50
km/h (31 mph).
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reactivation will
not occur when vehicle speed
increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent
steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to nor-
mal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.
■Operating conditions of emergency brake signal
When the following three conditions are
met, the emergency brake signal will operate:
●The emergency flashers are off.
●Actual vehicle speed is over 60 km/h
(38 mph).
●The brake pedal is depressed in a
manner that cause the system to judge from the vehicle deceleration
that this is a sudden braking opera-
tion.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will turn off
in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The brake pedal is released.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
