●Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed
The Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed function will not ope rate when
the turn signal lig hts are flashing.
While the Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed function is ope rating, if
any of the following are performed, the low speed sudden acceleration sup-
pression function oper ation will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is released
• The steering wheel is ope rated heavily or suddenly
■Detection of detectable objects
Objects are detected based on their
size, shape, and move-
ment.Depending on the ambient
brightness, movement, posture and
direction of a det ectable object, it
may not be detected and the system
may not operate properly. The sys-
tem detects shapes, such as the fol-
lowing, as detectable objects.
■Situations in which the system
may operate even though the
possibility of a co llision is not
high
●In certain situations, such as the
following, the sys tem may deter-
mine that the possibility of a colli-
sion is high and operate:
• When passing a detectable object
• When changing lanes while over-
taking a detectable object • When suddenly approaching a
detectable object
• When approaching a detectable
object or other ob ject on the road-
side, such as guardrails, utility
poles, trees, walls, etc.
• When there is a d etectable object
or other object by the roadside at
the entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or a painting ahead of the vehicle that
may be mistaken for a detectable
object
• When passing a detectable object that is changing lanes or turning
left/right

stops immediately before entering
the path of the vehicle
• When turning left/right and an oncoming vehicle turns left/right in
front of the vehicle • When the steering wheel is oper-
ated toward the path of an oncom-
ing vehicle
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●In certain situations, such as the
following, a detectable object may
not be detected by the front sen-
sors, and the system may not
operate properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes
an abrupt maneuver (such as sud-
den swerving, acceleration or
deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
• When the detectable object is
near a wall, fence, guardrail, man-
hole cover, steel plate on the road
surface, or another vehicle
• When there is a structure above a detectable object
• When part of a detectable object
is hidden by another object (large
luggage, umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
• When multiple det ectable objects
are overlapping
• When a bright light, such as the sun, is reflecting off of a detect-
able object
• When a detectable object is white and looks extremely bright
• When the color or brightness of a detectable object causes it to
blend in with its surroundings

a curve
• When turning left/right and an oncoming vehicle i s driving in a
lane 3 or more l anes from the
vehicle
• When turning left/right and the direction of the vehicle differs
greatly from the direction traffic
flows in the oncoming lane
• When turning left/right and approaching a pedestrian which
was traveling in the same direc- tion as the vehicle and continues
straight
●In addition to the preceding, in
certain situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the emergency steering
assist may not operate properly:
• When a detectable object is too close to the vehicle
• When there is insufficient space to perform evasive steering maneu-
vers or an obstruction exists in the
evasion direction
• When there is an oncoming vehi- cle
 The pre-collision system can
be enabled/disabled through
a customize setting. ( P.572)

 The pre-collision setting can
be changed on the customize
settings. ( P.572)
 When the pre-collision warn-
ing timing is changed, the
emergency steering assist
timing will also be changed.
When “Later” is selected, the
emergency steering assist will
not operate in most cases.
 When the dynamic radar
cruise control is operating, the
pre-collision warning will
operate at the “Earlier” timing,
regardless of the user setting. 
When driving on a road with
clear lane lines with the
dynamic radar cruise control
operating, lane lines and pre-
ceding and surrounding vehi-
cles are detected using the
front camera and radar sen-
sor, and the steering wheel is
operated to maintain the vehi-
cle’s lane position.
Use the this function only on high-
ways and expressways.
If the dynamic radar cruise control
is not operating, the function will not
operate.
In situations where the lane lines
are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, sup-
port will be provided using the path
of preceding and surrounding vehi-
cles.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, the driver will be
alerted via a display and this func-
tion will be temporarily canceled.
If the steering wheel is firmly
gripped, the func tion will begin
operating again.

WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA
system. The LTA system is not a
system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and
it is not a system which reduces
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe drivi ng. The driver
is solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety. Also, the driver is
responsible for taking adequate
breaks when fatigued, such as
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
●When not using the LTA system,
turn it off using the LTA switch.

2785-4. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_enthe following cond
itions are met:
●The LTA system detects lane lines
or the path of preceding or sur-
rounding vehicles (except when
the preceding vehicle is small,
such as a motorcycle).
●The dynamic radar cruise control
is operating.
●The lane width is approximately
10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m).
●The turn signal le ver is not being
operated.
●The vehicle is not being driven
around a sharp curve.
●The vehicle is not accelerating or
decelerating more than a certain
amount.
●The steering wheel is not being
turned with a large force.
●The hands off steering wheel
warning ( P.278) is not operat-
ing.
●The vehicle is being driven in the
center of a lane.
■Temporary cancelation of func-
tions
●When the operating conditions are
no longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However,
when the operation conditions are
met again, operation of the func-
tion will automatically be restored.
(  P.277)
●If the operating conditions of a
function are no longer met while
the function is operating, a buzzer
may sound to indicate that the
function has been temporarily
canceled.
●The steering assist operation of
the function can be overridden by
the steering wheel operation of
the driver.
■Lane departure warning func-
tion when the LTA is operating
●Even if the LDA warning method is
changed to vibration of the steer-
ing wheel, if the vehicle deviates from the lane while the LTA is
operating, the warning buzzer will
sound to aler
t the driver.
●If steering wheel operation equiv-
alent to that necessary for a lane
change is detected, the system
will determine the vehicle is not
deviating from the lane and the
warning will not operate.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
In the following si tuations, a mes-
sage urging the driver to grip the
steering wheel and the icon shown
in the illustration will be displayed on
the multi-information display to warn
the driver. If the system detects that
the steering wheel is held, the warn-
ing will be canceled. When using the
system, make sure to grip the steer-
ing wheel firmly, regardless of
whether the warning is operating or
not.
●When the system determines the
driver is not hold ing the steering
wheel while the function is operat-
ing
If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, a buzzer will
sound, the warning will operate, and
the function will be temporarily can-
celed. This warnin g may also oper-
ate if the driver only operates
steering wheel a small amount con-
tinuously.
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, handle control condition
and road surface, t he warning func-
tion may not operate.

WARNING
■Situations in which the func-
tions may not operate prop-
erly
In the following situations, the
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart
from its lane. Do not overly rely on
these functions. The driver is
solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering wheel
as necessary to ensure safety.
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle changes lanes (Your
vehicle may follow the preced-
ing or surrounding vehicle and
also change lanes)
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle is swaying (Your
vehicle may sway accordingly
and depart from the lane)
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle departs from a lane
(Your vehicle may follow the
preceding or surrounding vehi-
cle and also depart from the
