Operating instructions
1964-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When vehicles ahead are repeat-edly detected and then hidden
due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead approaches from a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting
strong light, such as own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly: P. 2 1 1
●The headlights may change to the
low beams if a vehi cle ahead that
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following may change the tim-
ing at which the headlights
change to the low beams:
• The brightness of lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• The distance betw een the vehicle
and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has
lights illuminate d on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The headlights may change
between the high beams and low
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys-
tem may not be abl e to correctly
detect the brightness of the sur- roundings. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to flash or dazzle
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it
is necessary to
manually change between the
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to headlights or tail lights in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the headlights are repeat-
edly changing between the high
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is
inappropriate or when the high
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians or other drivers.
• When the vehicl e is used in an
area in which vehicles travel on
the opposite side of the road of
the country for which the vehicle
was designed, for example using
a vehicle designed for right-hand
traffic in a left-ha nd traffic area, or
vice versa
• When it is necessary to disable
the system: P. 2 0 7
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 2 1 1
■Temporarily reducing front
camera sensitivity
The sensitivity of the front camera
can be temporarily reduced.
1 Turn the power s witch off while
the following conditions are met.
●The headlight switch is in or
.
●The headlight switch lever is in the
low beam position.
●The Automatic High Beam switch
is on.
2 Turn the power switch to ON.
3 Within 60 seconds after perform-
ing step 2, push the headlight
switch lever to the high beam
position then pull it to the original

weakly to restrict acceleration.
During operation, a buzzer will
sound and a warning indicator
and message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
WARNING
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion is not designed to hold the
vehicle stopped. If the vehicle is
stopped by pre-collision brake
control, the driver should oper-
ate the brakes immediately as
necessary.
●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.
●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 system may determine
that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
Acceleration Suppression at Low
Speed function from operating or
possibly causing its operation to
be canceled.
■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 n ot operate.
• While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed
strongly, the steering 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.
2184-5. Using the driving support systems
●Pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision braking function is oper-
ating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is strongly depressed
• The steering wheel is ope rated heavily or suddenly
●Emergency steering assist
The emergency steeri ng assist will not opera te when the turn signal lights
are flashing.
The emergency steering assist will not operate when the VSC OFF indicator
is illuminated.

Driving
the following conditions are met:
●The LTA system detects lane lines
or the path of preceding or sur-
rounding vehicles.
●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.225) 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.224)
●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
●When the system determines the
driver is not hold ing the steering
wheel, a message urging the
driver to grip the steering wheel
and the icon shown in the illustra-
tion will be dis played on the
multi-information display to warn
the driver. If the system detects
that the steering wheel is held, the
warning will be canceled. When
using the system, make sure to
grip the steering wheel firmly,
regardless of whether the warn-
ing is operating or not.
●If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, the warn-
ing will operate and the function
will be temporarily canceled. This
warning may also operate if the
driver only operates steering
wheel a small amount continu-
ously.
■Situations in which the hands
off steering wheel warning may
not operate properly
●Depending on the condition of the
vehicle,handle control condition
and road surface, the warning
function may not operate.
2284-5. Using the driving support systems
The LDA system warns the
driver if the vehicle may deviate
from the current lane or course
*,
and also can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*.
The front camera is used to
detect lane lines or a course
*.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on a display,
and either a warning buzzer will
sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
Check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane or course
*.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane, the lane de parture alert will
operate even if the turn signals are
operating.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as a curb,
guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure prevention
function
If the system determines that
the vehicle is likely to depart
from its lane or course
*, it pro-
vides assistance through steer-
ing wheel operations to help
avoid deviation from the lane or
course.
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, a warning message
may be displayed and a warning
buzzer may sound to alert the
driver.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicl e in an adjacent
lane, the lane departure prevention
function will operate even if the turn
signals are operating.
LDA (Lane Depar ture
Alert)
Basic functions
2304-5. Using the driving support systems
This function is operable when all of
the following conditions are met:
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 mph (50 km/h) or more.
Operation may be possible when
the vehicle speed is approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more if vehi-
cles, motorcycles, bicycles, or
pedestrians are detected near the
lane.
• The system reco gnizes a lane or
course
*. (When recognized on
only one side, the system will
operate only for the recognized
side.)
• The lane width is approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) or more.
• The turn signal l ever is not being
operated. (Vehicles with BSM:
Except when a vehicle is detected
in the direction that the turn signal
lever is 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 sufficiently to perform a
lane change.
*: Boundary between the asphalt
and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Temporary cancellation 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 function
will automatically be restored.
( P.229)
■Operation of the lane departure
alert function/lane departure
prevention function
●Depending on the vehicle speed,
road conditions, lane departure
angle, etc., operation of the lane
departure prevention function may not be felt or the function may not
operate.
●Depending on the conditions, the
warning buzzer may operate even
if vibration is selected through a
customize setting.
●If a course* is not clear or straight,
the lane departure alert function or
lane departure prevention function
may not operate.
●The lane departure alert function
or lane departure prevention func-
tion may not operate if the system
judges that the vehicle is inten-
tionally being ste ered to avoid a
pedestrian or parked vehicle.
●Vehicles with BSM: It may not be
possible for the sys tem to judge if
there is danger of a collision with a
vehicle in an adjacent lane.
●The steering assist operation of
the lane departure prevention
function can be overridden by the
steering wheel operation of the
driver.
*: Boundary between the asphalt
and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
In the following si tuations, a mes-
sage urging the driver to operate the
steering wheel and an icon will be
displayed and a buzzer will sound to
warn the driver. When using the sys-
tem, make sure to grip the steering
wheel firmly, rega rdless of whether
the warning is operating or not.
