WARNING

[Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate properly.

[ During emergency braking, braking
control by Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist will automatically
cancel when the driver excessively
depresses the accelerator pedal or
sharply steers the vehicle.
CAUTION
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle and pedestrian in front and
the surroundings, the speed range to
operate Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may reduce. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may only warn the
driver, or it may not operate.
Information

[In a situation where collision is
imminent, braking may be assisted by
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
when braking is insufficient by the
driver.

[ Images or colors may appear
differently depending on the instrument
panel specifications or theme.

OADAS003OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles or
pedestrians in front of you when
driving on curved roads adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors. This may result in no
warning or braking assist when
necessary.
When driving on a curved road,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, steer the
vehicle and depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

OADAS006OADAS005
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle or pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily
warn the driver and control the
brake. Always check the traffic
conditions around the vehicle.
[
Driving on an inclined roadOADAS009
OADAS007
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles or
pedestrians in front of you while
driving uphill or downhill adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors.
This may result in unnecessary
warning or braking assist, or no
warning or braking assist when
necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly
decrease when a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead is suddenly
detected.
Always have your eyes on the road
while driving uphill or downhill and
if necessary, steer the vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

Driver Assistance System7-12

[ Changing lanes
OADAS032[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot
be detected by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not immediately detect the
vehicle when the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
OADAS033[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that
is now in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a safe
braking distance, and if necessary,
steer the vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.

[Detecting vehicle
OOS058022
If the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward from
the cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clearance,
additional special attention is
required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not be able
to detect the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance from the rearmost object,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
WARNING

[When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
turned off due to safety reasons.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may operate if objects that are
similar in shape or characteristics
to vehicles and pedestrians are
detected.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate on bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects, such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate for 15 seconds after
the vehicle is started, or the front
