2284-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every
situation. Do not overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is
designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able
to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the following conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may operate even if there is
no possibility of a collision:
 P.231
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate properly:
 P.232
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the pre-collision system
yourself.
Depending on the objects used
for testing (dummies, card-
board objects imitating detect-
able objects, etc.), the system
may not operate properly, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the
operation of the pre-collision
braking function, the pre-colli-
sion braking function operation
will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain
operations are performed by the
driver. If the accelerator pedal is
being depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
pre-collision braking function
from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision brak ing function is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is
turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may
determine that t he driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly
delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable
the system, as it may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed

Driving
●Pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision braking function is oper-
ating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based
on their size, profile, motion, etc.
However, an object may not be
detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion,
posture, and angle of the detected
object, preventing the system from
operating properly. ( P.232)
The illustration sh ows an image of
detectable objects.
■Conditions under which the
system may operate even if
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine
that there is a po ssibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while over- taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object in an adjacent lane or on
the roadside, such as when
changing the course of travel or driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable
objects, guardrails, utility poles,
trees, or walls
• When there is a d etectable object
or other object by the roadside at
the entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or paint in front of your vehicle that may be
mistaken for a detectable object
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable object that is changing lanes or
making a right/left turn

Driving
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
While driving on a road with
clear white (yellow) lane
lines, the LTA system warns
the driver if the vehicle may
deviate from the current
lane or course
*, and also
can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range is
operating, this system will
operate the steering wheel
to maintain the vehicle’s
lane position.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) lane lines or a
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects
preceding vehicles using
the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as
grass, soil, or a curb
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA
system. The LTA system does
not automatically drive the vehi-
cle or reduce the amount of
attention that m ust be paid to
the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume
full responsibilit y for driving
safely by paying careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions and operating the steering
wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must
take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving
for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●When not using the LTA sys-
tem, use the LTA switch to turn
the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA
system
In the following situations, use the
LTA switch to turn the system off.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road sur-
face which is slippery due to
rainy weather, fallen snow,
freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-
ered road.
●White (yellow) lin es are difficult
to see due to rain, snow, fog,
dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary
lane or restricted lane due to
