■Intersection collision avoid-
ance support (crossing
vehicles)
At an intersection, etc., if the
system determines that the pos-
sibility of a collision with an
approaching vehicle or motorcy-
cle is high, the pre-collision
warning and pre-collision brak-
ing will operate.
Depending on the intersection,
assistance may not operate cor-
rectly.
■Acceleration Suppression
at Low Speed
When driving at a low speed, if
the accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed and the system
determines that there is a possi-
bility of a collision, hybrid sys-
tem output will be restrained or
the brakes will be applied
weakly to restrict acceleration.
During operation, a buzzer will
sound and the following icon
and message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
WARNING
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-co llision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.

vehicle
• When turning left/right and the direction of the vehicle differs
greatly from the direction traffic
flows in the oncoming lane
• When turning left/right, a pedes- trian or bicycle behind the vehicle
comes in front of it as if it over-
takes the vehicle
• When at an intersection, the approaching crossing vehicle is
long in overall le ngth, such as a
large truck, towing trailer, etc.
●In addition to the preceding, in
certain situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the emergency steering
assist may not operate properly:
• When a detectable object is too
close to the vehicle
• When there is insufficient space to perform evasive steering maneu-
vers or an obstruction exists in the
evasion direction
• When there is an oncoming vehi-
cle
●In addition to the preceding, in
certain situations, such as the fol-
lowing, walls may not be detected
as a target object and the Acceler-
ation Suppression at Low Speed
function may not operate properly:
• When scenery behind the wall is visible, such as a glass door, grid
fence, etc. • When the wall is slanted or low
• When the wall is narrow, such as
a pole, etc.
• When the wall is made of plants, such as a hedge, etc.
• When the road, etc. is reflected on
the wall
• When the vehicle is approaching the wall at an angle
The pre-collision system can
be enabled/disabled through
a customize setting.

The system is enabled each time
the power switch is turned to ON.
When the system is disabled,
the PCS warning light will illu-

be changed on the customize
settings. ( P.626)

When the function is operat-
ing, if the vehicle is likely to
depart from its lane, the driver
will be alerted via a display
and buzzer.
When the buzzer sounds, check
the area around the vehicle and
carefully operate the steering wheel
to move the vehicle back to the
center of the lane.
WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA
system. The LTA system is not
a system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and
it is not a system which reduces
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe driv ing. The driver
is solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety. Also, the driver is
responsible for taking adequate
breaks when fatigued, such as
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
●When not using the LTA sys-
tem, turn it off using the LTA
switch.

■Operating conditions of func-
tion
This function is operable when all of
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 lever 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.307) 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.307)
●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 alert 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 holding the steering
wheel, a message urging the
driver to grip the steering wheel
and the icon show n in the illustra-
tion will be displayed 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 an d the function
will be temporarily canceled. This
warning may also operate if the
driver only operates steering
wheel a small amount continu-
ously.

off steering wheel warning may
not operate properly

■Cancelation of functions
In the following situations, opera-
tion of the LCA may be canceled
with the display and buzzer:
●When the operating conditions
( P.307) are no longer met
●When the system can no longer
detect lane lines
●When the turn signal lever is oper-
ated to the second position
( P.311)
●When the turn signal lever is oper-
ated in the opposite direction of
the lane change
●When the system detects opera-
tion of the steering wheel, brake
pedal or accelerator pedal by the
driver
If the system detects that a vehicle
is quickly approaching in the lane
toward which the turn signal is oper-
ated a buzzer will sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed to alert the
driver. At the same time the steering
wheel may be slightly operated to
help keep the vehicle away from the
approaching vehicle.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
When the system de termines the
driver is not holding the steering
wheel, a message 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 sys-
tem detects that the steering wheel
is held, the warning will be can-
celed. When using the system,
make sure to grip the steering wheel
firmly, regardless of whether the
warning is operating or not.
■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.
●In the following situations, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect
when the driver’s hands are off
the steering wheel.
• When a steering wheel cover is installed
• When the driver is wearing gloves
• When foreign matter is attached to the steering wheel
• When the driver is gripping the wood trim, seam of the leather,
spokes, or other part of the steer-
ing wheel that does not have sen-
sors
●In the following situations, the
hands off steering wheel warning
may not operate and the LCA
function may continue operating
even though the driver’s hands
are off the steering wheel:
• When something other than a hand is contacting the steering
wheel
• When a wide object or arms are held across the steering wheel
If the turn signal lever is held in
the first position, the lane
change direction will be dis-
played and the function will
operate.
