Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pushing the
cruise control lever up or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off opera-
tion) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not per-
formed, system control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will
accelerate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be 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 from where the
vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn 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 constant speed cruising.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has 2 functions;
●The Blind Spot Monitor function
Assists the driver in making the decision when changing lanes
●The Rear Crossing Traffic Alert function
Assists the driver when backing up
These functions use same sensors.
Outside rear view mirror indicators
Blind Spot Monitor function:
When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator comes on while the turn signal lever is not operated. If the turn
signal lever is operated toward the detected side, the outside rear view
mirror indicator flashes.
Rear Crossing Traffic Alert function:
When a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear of the vehicle is
detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators flash.

■Function summary
When departing from a parallel parking position, select the direction
you would like to depart in, and steering wheel operation assist con-
trol will be provided to guide the vehicle to a position from which
you can take off.
With the shift position in P,
press the S-IPA switch,
select exit parallel parking
assist mode, and then oper-
ate the turn signal lever to
select the desired departure
direction.
Steering wheel auto opera-
tion starts when the shift
position is changed accord-
ing to guidance provided by
the system.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position from which you can take off.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, guidance to starting
points for moving forward and backing up, as well as the steering wheel
auto operation, are repeated any time multi-turn maneuvering is neces-
sary from the time the steering wheel auto operation begins in step
up until the vehicle reaches a position from which it can take off.

■Using the exit parallel parking assist mode to depart
With the shift position in P, press the S-IPA switch and check that
the display on the multi-information display switches to “Exit Par-
allel Parking”.
Operate the turn signal lever ( P. 335) to select whether you
would like to depart to the left or right.
If there are any obstacles in the direction the vehicle is departing in, the
system determines that it is not possible to depart, and assist control is
stopped.
When the shift position is changed to R (or D) according to the
advice display on the screen ( P. 477), a high-pitched beep is
emitted and assist control will start.
Step and onward is for cases in which the advice display shows “Shift
to [R]” after operating the turn signal lever to select a departure direc-
tion.
● When the steering wheel auto operation starts, the steering
wheel auto operation display ( P. 477) and assistance level
indicator ( P. 477) will be shown in the display area.
● To stop assist control, press the S-IPA switch.
Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel without applying any force, directly
confirm the safety of the area to the rear and around the vehicle
and slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
● When backing up too quickly, a sharp beeping sound is emit-
ted and assist control is stopped. ( P. 501)
