■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 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.
When the system de termines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane and that the possibility of a col-
lision with an over taking vehicle in
the adjacent lane is high, the lane
departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as
grass, soil, or a curb
■Steering assist function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, the sys-
tem provides assistance as nec-
essary by operating the steering
wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the
vehicle in its lane.
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane and that the possibility of a col-
lision with an overta king vehicle in
the adjacent lane is high, the steer-

Driving
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 accel-
erate to help to overt ake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side
driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehi cle is driven to a
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from wh ere the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the tur n signal lever
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (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 system then
returns to constan t speed cruising.
