◆Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying
within a lane, the warning
buzzer will sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the
multi-information display to alert
the driver.
◆Lane centering function
This function is linked with
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range and pro-
vides the required assistance
by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current
lane.
When dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range is not
operating, the lane centering
function does not operate.
In situations where the white
(yellow) lane lines are difficult to
see or are not visible, such as
when in a traffic jam, this func-
tion will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring
the position of the preceding
vehicle.

Driving
• The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is operating in
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
• Width of traffic lane is approximately 10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m).
• Turn signal lever is not operated.
• Vehicle is not being driven around a sharp curve.

■ Temporary cancelation of functions
●When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporarily
canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation
of the function is automatically restored. ( P. 278)
● If the operation conditions ( P. 278) are no longer met while the lane cen-
tering function is operating, the buzzer may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled.
■ Steering assist function/lane centering function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the function is operating or the function may not
operate at all.
● The steering control of the function is overridden by the drive r’s steering
wheel operation.
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the steering assist fun ction.
■ Lane departure alert function
●The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noi se, audio
playback, etc.
● If the edge of the course
* is not clear or straight, the lane departure alert
function may not operate.
● Vehicle with BSM: It may not be possible for the system to determine if there
is a danger of a collision with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the lane departure aler t function.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as gra ss, soil, or
a curb

2804-5. Using the driving support systems
■Hands off steering wheel warning
●When the system determines the driver is not holding the steering wheel
while the lane centering function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same way when the driver continuously
operates the steering wheel only a small amount.
● When the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from th e lane
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating.
Depending on the vehicle condition and road conditions, the war ning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straight-lane dr iving.
● When the system determines that the driver is driving without h olding the
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist function
is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the buzzer sounds and the d river is
warned. Each time the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of the buzzer
becomes longer.
■ Vehicle sway warning function
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, the warning may n ot operate.
In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver
to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display to warn the driver. The
warning stops when the system deter-
mines that the driver holds the steering
wheel. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel when using this system,
regardless of warnings.
When the system determines that the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle sway
warning function is operating, a buzzer
sounds and a warning message urging
the driver to rest and the symbol shown in
the illustration are simultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information display.

2924-5. Using the driving support systems
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will
accelerate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may b e deter-
mined solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left
side driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven
to a region where the overtaking lane is on a different side fr om where the
vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal
lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking l ane (e.g., if the
driver normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane
is to the right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the
left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The syst em then
returns to constant speed cruising.
Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Press the switch again to deacti-
vate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or
more, the system turns on in constant speed control mode. ( P. 298)
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 20 mph
[30 km/h]) and press the “- SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will
come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment
the switch is released becomes the
set speed.

mode)

2964-5. Using the driving support systems
When your vehicle is too close to
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the
cruise control is not possible, the
display will flash and the buzzer
will sound to alert the driver. An
example of this would be if
another driver cuts in front of you
while you are following a vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-
vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, war nings may not occur even when th e
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
● When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
● When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● When depressing the accelerator pedal
While driving in vehicle-to-vehi cle distance control mode, this function
will reduce the vehicl e speed, if it is determined to be necess ary.
■Function operation
When the steering wheel begins to be turned, the vehicle speed will
begin being reduced. When the steering wheel is returned to the
center position, the vehicl e speed reduction will end.
Depending on the situat ion, the vehicle speed will then return to the
vehicle-to-vehicle distanc e control mode set speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-v ehicle distance control needs to
operate, such as when a preceding vehicle cuts in front of your
vehicle, the curve speed reduction function will be canceled.
