recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited.
Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may
not operate properly, possibly
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while
performing driving operations or
a system malfunction occurs, a
warning message or warning
buzzer will be operated. If a
warning message is displayed
on the display, follow the
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise,
the volume of the audio system,
etc. it may be difficult to hear the
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it
may be difficult to recognize the
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system

■Pre-collision brake assist
If the system determines that
the possibility of a collision is
high and the brake operation by
the driver is insufficient, the
braking power will be increased.
■Pre-collision brake control
If the system determines that
the possibility of a collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or reduce the
impact of the collision.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that
the following conditions are met,
assistance will be provided to
help enhance vehicle stability
and prevent lane departure.
During assistance, in addition to
the pre-collision warning, the fol-
lowing icon will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
 The possibility of a collision is
high
 There is sufficient space
within the lane to perform
evasive steering maneuvers
 The driver is operating the
steering wheel
During assistance, the pre-colli-
sion warning will operate and a
message will be displayed to
warn the driver.
■Intersection collision avoid-
ance support (left/right
turn)
In situations such as the follow-
ing, if the system determines
that the possibility of a collision
is high, the pre-collision warning
and pre-collision braking will
operate. Depending on the inter-
section, assistance may not
operate correctly.
 When turning left/right at an
intersection and crossing the
path of an oncoming vehicle
 When turning left/right and an
oncoming pedestrian or bicy-
cle is detected

■Intersection collision avoid-
ance support (crossing
vehicles)
At an intersection, etc., if the
system determines that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an
approaching vehicle or motorcy-
cle is high, the pre-collision
warning and pre-collision brak-
ing will operate. Depending on
the intersection, assistance may
not operate correctly.
■Acceleration Suppression
at Low Speed
When driving at a low speed, if
the accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed and the system
determines that there is a possi-
bility of a collision, EV system
output will be restrained or the
brakes will be applied weakly to
restrict acceleration. During operation, a buzzer will sound
and a warning indicator and
message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.

■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
●Pre-collision braking function is
not intended for remain
stopped. If the vehicle is
stopped by pre-collision brak-
ing function, the driver should
operate the brakes as neces-
sary.
●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.

WARNING
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may
determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly
delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision brake control.
■Acceleration Suppression at
Low Speed
If the steering wheel is being
turned, the syste m may determine
that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
Acceleration Suppression at Low
Speed function from operating.
■Emergency steering assist
●The emergency steering assist
will be canceled when the sys-
tem determines that lane depar-
ture prevention control has
completed.
●Depending on operations per-
formed by the driver, emer-
gency steering assist may not
operate or operation may be
canceled.
• If the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is turned heavily, the
brake pedal is depressed, or the
turn signal lever is operated, the
system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action
and the emergency steering
assist may not operate.
• While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed
strongly, the st eering wheel is
turned heavily, or the brake
pedal is depressed, the system
may determine that the driver is
taking evasive action and emer-
gency steering assist operation
may be canceled.
• While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held or turned in the
opposite direction of system
operation, emergency steering
assist operation will be can-
celed.
