WARNING
■Emergency steering assist (for region A)
● As emergency steering assist operation will be canceled when the system
determines that lane departure prevention function has been com pleted.
● Emergency steering assist may not operate or may be cancel in the follow-
ing cases as the system may determine the driver is taking acti ons.
• If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the stee ring wheel
is being operated sharply, the brake pedal is being depressed o r the
turn signal lever is being operated. In this case, the system m ay deter-
mine that the driver is taking evasive action and the emergency steering
assist may not operate.
• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is ope rating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pe dal is
depressed strongly, the steering wheel is operated sharply or t he brake
pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the dri ver is
taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steeri ng wheel
is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which the
system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.
■ When to disable the pre-collision system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or ser ious injury:
● When the vehicle is being towed
● When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
● When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
● When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the hybrid system on and the tires
are allowed to rotate freely
● When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-
mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle whee l bal-
ancer
● When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to
an accident or other reasons
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
● When the tires are not properly inflated

● Pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision brakin g function is oper-
ating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
● Emergency steering assist (for region A)
When the turn signal lights are flashing, emergency steering as sist will not
operate in case of an emergency.
If any of the following occur while the emergency steering assi st function is
operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
• The brake pedal is depressed.

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 cur rent
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 control with full-speed range is operating, this s ystem will
operate the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane posit ion.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, 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

Summary of functions
WARNING
■ Before using LTA system
● Do not rely solely upon the LTA system. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention t hat must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by paying careful attention t o the surround-
ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigu ed, such
as from driving for a long period of time.
● Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING
■Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the functions may not operate prop erly and the
vehicle may depart from its lane. Drive safely by always paying careful
attention to your surroundings and operate the steering wheel t o correct the
path of the vehicle without relying solely on the functions.
● When the follow-up cruising display is displayed (P. 394) and the pre-
ceding vehicle is swaying. (Your vehicle may sway accordingly a nd depart
from the lane.)
● When the follow-up cruising display is displayed (P. 394) and the pre-
ceding vehicle departs from its lane. (Your vehicle may follow the preced-
ing vehicle and depart from the lane.)
● When the follow-up cruising display is displayed (P. 394) and the pre-
ceding vehicle is being driven extremely close to the left/righ t lane line.
(Your vehicle may follow the preceding vehicle and depart from the lane.)
● Vehicle is being driven around a sharp curve.
●When the follow-up cruising display is
displayed ( P. 394) and the preceding
vehicle changes lanes. (Your vehicle
may follow the preceding vehicle and
also change lanes.)
●Objects or patterns that could be mis-
taken for white (yellow) lines are pres-
ent on the side of the road (guardrails,
reflective poles, etc.).

■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course*, a
warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and a
warning buzzer will sound to
alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds,
check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane.
Vehicle with BSM: When the sys-
tem determines that the vehicle
might depart from its lane and that
the possibility of a collision with an
overtaking vehicle in the adjacent
lane is high, the lane departure
alert will operate even if the turn
signals are operating.

a curb
