●When the system determines that
the driver is not securely holding
the steering wheel, or the steering
wheel is not being operated when
the steering assist operation of the
lane departure prevention function
is operating
The length of time that the warning
buzzer operates will become longer
as the frequency o f the steering
assist operating i ncreases. Even if
the system judges that the steering
wheel has been operated, the warn-
ing buzzer will sound for a certain
amount of time.
■Break suggestion function
If the vehicle is swaying, a message
will be displayed and a warning
buzzer will sound to u rge the driver
to take a break.
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle and road surface, the break
suggestion functi on may not oper-
ate.
The LDA system can be
enabled/disabled through a
customize setting. ( P.442)

WARNING
■Situations in which the sys-
tem may not ope rate properly
In the following situations, the
system may not operate properly
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 the boundary between
the asphalt and grass, soil, etc.,
or structures, such as a curb,
guardrail, etc. is not clear or
straight
●When the vehicle is struck by a
crosswind or the turbulence of
other nearby vehicles

PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.229) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully.( P.230)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.

ing assist off

■System operation will be can-
celed when
●In the following si tuations, system
operation will be canceled :

operation may be canceled :
• When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: PCS, drive-start
control)
• When the system determines that a detected object has moved
away from the vehicle
●In the following situations, system
assistance may be canceled :
• When lane lines can no longer be
detected
• When the brake pedal has been
depressed
• When the accelerator pedal has been depressed
• When the steering wheel has
been operated wi th more than a
certain amount of force
• When the turn signal lever is oper-
ated to the left/right turn position

tem may not ope rate properly
●Situations in which the lane may
not be detected :

●When a detectable object stops
immediately before entering the
path of the vehicle
●When passing extremely close
to a detectable object behind a
guardrail, fence, etc.
●When changing lanes while

■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
In the following situations, a mes-
sage urging the dr iver to grip the
steering wheel and the icon shown
in the illustration will be displayed on
the 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
warning is operating or not.
●When the system determines the
driver is not holding the steering
wheel while the lane centering
function is operating
If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, a buzzer will
sound, the warnin g will operate.
This warning may also operate if the
driver only operates steering wheel
a small amount continuously.
■Warning operation after preced-
ing vehicle deceleration assis-
tance has ended
After preceding vehicle decelera-
tion assistance has ended, if the
driver does not operate the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal and the vehicle approaches the preceding
vehicle, the displa
y will flash and a
buzzer will sound to urge the driver
to decelerate. If the system deter-
mines that the driver is operating the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal,
the warning will be canceled.

2444-5. Using the driving support systems
lane is the passing lane may be
based solely on the location of the
steering wheel in the vehicle
(left-hand drive/right-hand drive). If
the vehicle is driven in a location
where the passing lane is on the
opposite side of that where the
vehicle was originally sold, the
vehicle may accelerate when the
turn signal lever is operated away
from the passing lane. (e.g. The
vehicle was manufactured for a
right-hand traffic location, but is
being driven in a left-hand traffic
location. The vehicle may acceler-
ate when the turn signal lever is
operated to the right.)
If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or
more and the lane is changed to
that with a vehicle traveling slower
than your vehicle, when the turn
signal lever is operated the vehicle
will gradually decelerate to assist in
changing lanes.
The settings of Dynamic radar
cruise control can be changed

WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver.
Therefore, do not overly rely on
this system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings
and driving safely.
●Set the speed appropriately
according to the speed limit,
traffic flow, road conditions,
weather conditions, etc. The
driver is responsible for confirm-
ing the set speed.
■Situations in which cruise
control should not be used
Do not use the cruise control in
the following situ ations. As the
system will not be able to provide
appropriate control, using it may
lead to an acciden t resulting in
death or serious injury.
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as
those covered with rain, ice or
snow
●On steep downhills, or where
there are sudden changes
between sharp up and down
gradients
