●The seat cushion surface is

●The surface of the seats with the
SRS side airbag is scratched,

●The portion of the front pillars, rear

tain shield airbags inside is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in
the vehicle must wear their seat
belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with
the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys
with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious
injury especially if the driver is
very close to the airbag. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA)
advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s
airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75
mm) of inflation, placing yourself
10 in. (250 mm) from your driver
airbag provides you with a margin
of safety. This distance is mea-
sured from the center of the steer-
ing wheel to your breastbone. If
you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm)
away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach-
ing the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the
10 in. (250 mm) distance, even
with the driver seat all the way
forward, simply by reclining the
back of the seat somewhat. If
reclining the back of your seat
makes it hard to see the road,
raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.

Driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the engine. Turning the
engine off while driving will not
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist
to these systems will be lost.
This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should
pull over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an
emergency, such as if it
becomes impossible to stop the
vehicle in the normal way:
P. 3 4 8
●Use engine braking (shift posi-
tion B*1 or downshift*2) to main-
tain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.
(
P.160, 162)
*1: Vehicles without paddle shift
switches
*2: Vehicles with paddle shift switches
●Do not adjust the positions of
the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or ou tside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has
high-speed capability tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)
may result in tire failure, loss of
control and possible injury. Be
sure to consult a tire dealer to
determine whether the tires on
your vehicle are high-speed
capability tires or not before
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration
and steering may cause tire
slippage and reduce your ability
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine
braking due to shifting, or
changes in engine speed could
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal
to make sure that the brakes
are functioning properly. Wet
brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one
side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a fo rward driving
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine
to stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting
in an accident or damage to the
vehicle.

■Automatic operating condi-
tions of the high beams
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will
illuminate automatically:
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other
lights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions
are met, the headlights will
change to the low beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below
approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• There is a vehi cle ahead with
lights on.
• There are many streetlights or
other lights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection
●In the following situations, the high
beams may not be automatically
changed to the low beams:
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle
• When another vehicle crosses in front of the vehicle • 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. 1 8 8
●The headlights may change to the
low beams if a vehicle ahead that
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illuminated 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 o f lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• The distance between 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, condition of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage

The pre-collision setting can
be changed on the customize
settings. ( P.412)
When the pre-collision warn-
ing timing is changed, the
emergency steering assist
(excluding the active steering
function) timing will also be
changed.
When "Later" is selected, the
emergency steering assist
(excluding the active steering
function) 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.

●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-

If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, a buzzer will
