3325-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
●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.
●Even if the system is operating
correctly, the condition of a pre-
ceding vehicle as recognized by
the driver and detected by the
system may differ. Therefore, it
is necessary for the driver to
pay attention, assess risks, and
ensure safety. Over-reliance on
this system to drive the vehicle
safely may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Precautions for the driving
assist systems
Observe the following precau-
tions, as there are limitations to
the assistance provided by the
system. Over-reliance on this sys-
tem may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Details of support provided for
the driver’s vision
The dynamic radar cruise control
is only intended to help the driver
in determining the distance
between the driver’s own vehicle
and a designated preceding vehi-
cle. It is not a system which allows
for careless or i nattentive driving,
and is not a system which assists
in poor visibility conditions.
The driver must pay attention to
their surroundings, even when the
vehicle stops.
●Details of support provided for
the driver’s judgement
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the distance
between the driver’s own vehicle
and a designated preceding vehi-
cle is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type
of judgement. Therefore, it is
absolutely necessary for the
driver to remain vigilant and to
determine whether or not there is
a possibility of danger.
●Details of support provided for
the driver’s operation
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which
will prevent or avoid collisions
with vehicles ahead of your vehi-
cle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver
must take immediate and direct
control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure
safety.
■Situations in which the
dynamic radar cruise control
should not be used
Do not use the dynamic radar
cruise control in the following situ-
ations. As the system will not be
able to provide appropriate con-
trol, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
●When driving on a highway or
expressway entrance or exit
●When the approach warning
sounds frequently
●Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly:

Emergency Driving
Stop System
The emergency driving stop
system is a system which
automatically decelerates
and stops the vehicle within
its lane if the driver
becomes unable to continue
driving the vehicle, such as
if they have suffered a medi-
cal emergency, etc.
During LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) control, if the sys-
tem does not detect driving
operations, such as if the
driver is not holding the
steering wheel, and deter-
mines the driver is not
responsive, the vehicle will
be decelerated and stopped
within its current lane to
help avoid a collision or
reduce the impact of a colli-
sion.
The vehicle will also decel-
erate/stop during the Traffic
Jam Assist (if equipped)
controls, when no driver’s
response to the vehicle’s
warning to hold the steering
wheel is detected.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving. The emer-
gency driving stop system is
designed to provide support in
an emergency where it is diffi-
cult for the driver to continue
driving, such as if they have had
a medical emergency. It is not
designed to support driving
while drowsy or in poor physical
health, or inattentive driving.
●Although the emergency driv-
ing stop system is designed to
decelerate the vehicle within its
lane to help avoid or help
reduce the impact of a collision
if the system determines that it
is difficult for the driver to con-
tinue driving, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions. Therefore, it
may not always be able to
achieve the same level of per-
formance. Also, if the operating
conditions are not met, this
function will not operate.
●After the emergency driving
stop system operates, if driving
becomes possible again, imme-
diately begin driving again or, if
necessary, park the vehicle on
the shoulder of the road and set
a warning reflector and flare to
warn other drivers of your
stopped vehicle.
●After this system operates, pas-
sengers should attend to the
driver as necessary and take
appropriate hazard prevention
measures, such as moving to a
place where safety can be
ensured, such as the shoulder
of the road or behind a guard-
rail.

3465-5. Using the driving support systems
Operation of this system is sep-
arated into 4 control states.
Through control state “warning
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”,
the system determines if the
driver is aware and responsive
while outputting a warning and
controlling the vehicle speed. If
the system determines the
driver is not responsive, it will
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold
phase” and decelerate and stop
the vehicle. It will then operate
continuously in “stop hold
phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system operates when all of
the following conditions are met:
●When the LTA is on
Or during the Traffic Jam Assist (if
equipped) controls
●When the vehicle speed is
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or more
During the Traffic Jam Assist con-
trols (if equipped), the system may
operate at below 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are
detected (the steering wheel is
held, the brake pedal, accelerator
pedal, parking brake, emergency
flasher switch, or turn signal lever
is operated)
●When the driving assist switch is
pressed while in the stop and hold
phase
●When the power switch has been
turned from ON to off
●Situations in which some or all of
the functions of the system cannot
operate: P.291
■LTA control when operation is
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the system will judge if the driver
is responsive or not. If driving
operations, such as holding the
steering wheel, are not per-
WARNING
●This system detects the condi-
tion of the driver through the
operation of the steering wheel.
This system may operate if the
driver is aware but intentionally
and continuously does not oper-
ate the vehicle. Also, the system
may not operate if it cannot
determine that the driver is not
responsive, such as if they are
leaning on the steering wheel.

Driving
formed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter
warning phase 2.
Vehicles with a driver monitor
camera: Depending on the type
of detection of the driver’s unre-
sponsiveness, the system may
skip warning phase 1 and start
the control of warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2,
a buzzer will sound in short
intervals and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such
as holding the steering wheel,
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is
not responsive and enter the
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerat-
ing, the brake lights may illumi-
nate, depending on the road
conditions, etc.
After entering the deceleration
stop phase, a buzzer will sound
continuously and a message will
be displayed to warn the driver,
and the vehicle will slowly decel-erate and stop. After the vehicle
stops, the system will enter the
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the
parking brake will be applied
automatically. After entering the
stop and hold phase, the buzzer
will continue sounding continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.
■Restricted functions after the
operation is canceled
After shifting to the deceleration
stop phase, the following functions
will not be available until the hybrid

The Traffic Jam Assist function,
through confirmation of the con-
ditions by the driver, provides
lane keeping, accelerat-
ing/decelerating and stopping
support on some highways and
expressways.
This function is operable when
all of the operation conditions
are met. When this function is
operating, it is possible to take
your hands off of the steering
wheel.
Before using the Traffic Jam Assist
function, familiari ze yourself with
the content of the dynamic radar
cruise control and the LTA (Lane
Tracing Assist).
Make sure that the driver steers the
vehicle when entering a service
area/parking area or toll gate, or
when changing lanes.

WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Do
not overly rely on this system,
and pay careful attention to the
surrounding conditions in order
to ensure safe driving.
●The Traffic Jam Assist function
is not an automated driving sys-
tem. This function provides the
driver with information and driv-
ing assistance a ccording to the
road shape and conditions, traf-
fic conditions, and the condition
of the driver themself. Always
pay careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions as use of
the system is the responsibility
of the driver.
●Depending on the condition of
the surrounding area, the road,
or the driver, the Traffic Jam
Assist function may not operate
or operation may be sus-
pended. Also, it may not always
be able to achieve the same
level of performance. Read the
operating conditions of the func-
tion carefully. Do not overly rely
on this function and always
drive carefully.
●As the recognition performance
and control performance of the
Traffic Jam Assist function are
limited, driver operation is nec-
essary to ensure safety while
the system is operating. Also,
the steering assist of this sys-
tem is designed to operate only
for slow steering operations
during a traffic jam. While this
function is operating, the lane
deviation control function of the
LDA will not operate. If, for
some reason, the vehicle is
about to deviate the lane, it is
the driver’s responsibility to
drive properly.
●Even if Traffic Jam Assist is
operating properly, the sur-
rounding conditions as recog-
nized by the driver and detected
by the system may differ. There-
fore, it is necessary for the
driver to pay attention, assess
risks, and ensure safety. Over-
reliance on this system to drive
the vehicle safely may lead to
an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●While the Traffi c Jam Assist
function is operating, as driver
operation may become neces-
sary, the driver must ensure
they have clear visibility of their
surroundings.
●In certain situations, a message
urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel may be dis-
played by the Traffic Jam Assist
function. In this case, hold the
steering wheel and drive the
vehicle manually to ensure
safety.
