WARNING
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion is not designed to hold the
vehicle stopped. If the vehicle is
stopped by pre-collision brake
control, the driver should oper-
ate the brakes immediately as
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain
operations are performed by the
driver. If the accelerator pedal is
being depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
pre-collision braking function
from operating.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may
determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly
delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision brake control.
■Acceleration Suppression at
Low Speed
If the steering wheel is being
turned, the syste m may determine
that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
Acceleration Suppression at Low
Speed function from operating or
possibly causing its operation to
be canceled.
■Emergency steering assist
●The emergency steering assist
will be canceled when the sys-
tem determines that lane depar-
ture prevention control has
completed.
●Depending on operations per-
formed by the driver, emer-
gency steering assist may not
operate or operation may be
canceled.
• If the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is turned heavily, the
brake pedal is depressed, or the
turn signal lever is operated, the
system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action
and the emergency steering
assist may not operate.
• While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed
strongly, the steering wheel is
turned heavily, or the brake
pedal is depressed, the system
may determine that the driver is
taking evasive action and emer-
gency steering assist operation
may be canceled.
• While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steer-
ing wheel is held or turned in the
opposite direction of system
operation, emergency steering
assist operation will be can-
celed.

■Operating conditions of each function of the pre-collision system
The pre-collision syst em is enabled and the syste m determines that the pos-
sibility of a frontal collision with a detected object is high.
However, the system will not opera te in the following situations:
●When the vehicle has not been driven a certain amount after a terminal of
the 12-volt battery has been disconnected and reconnected
●When the shift position is in R
●When the VSC OFF indica tor is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)
The following are the operational speeds and cancelation conditions of each
function:
●Pre-collision warning
While the pre-collision warning is operat ing, if the steering wheel is operated
heavily or suddenly, the pre-collision warning may be cancelled.
●Pre-collision brake assist

When driving at approximately 29 m ph (40 km/h) or more, this system will
only operate when the speed of the ot her vehicle is approximately 29 mph

the turn signal lights are flashing.
While the Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed function is operating, if

pression function operation will be cancelled:
• The accelerator pedal is released.
• The steering wheel is operated heavily or suddenly

• When turning left/right and an oncoming vehicle turns left/right in
front of the vehicle
• When the steering wheel is oper- ated toward the path of an oncom-
ing vehicle
• When there is an object moving
above or under the road
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●In certain situations, such as the
following, a detectable object may
not be detected by the front sen-
sors, and the system may not
operate properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes
an abrupt maneuver (such as sud-
den swerving, acceleration or
deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
• When the detectable object is
near a wall, fence, guardrail, man-
hole cover, steel plate on the road
surface, or another vehicle
• When there is a structure above a
detectable object
• When part of a detectable object is hidden by another object (large luggage, umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
• When multiple detectable objects are overlapping
• When a bright light, such as the sun, is reflecting off of a detect-
able object
• When a detectable object is white and looks extremely bright
• When the color or brightness of a
detectable object causes it to
blend in with its surroundings
• When a detectable object cuts in
front of or suddenly emerges in
front of your vehicle
• When approaching a vehicle
which is diagonal
• If a bicycle is a child sized bicycle, is carrying a large load, is carrying
an extra passenger, is carrying a
forward leaning rider, or has an
unusual shape (bicycles equipped
with a child seat, tandem bicycles,
etc.)
• If a pedestrian or bicycle is shorter
than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or
taller than approximately 6.5 ft. (2
m).
• When the silhouette of a pedes- trian or bicycle is unclear (such as
when they are wearing a raincoat,
long skirt, etc.)
• When a pedestrian is bending for- ward or squatting
• When a pedestrian or bicycle is moving at high speed
• When a pedestrian is pushing a
stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or
other vehicle
• When a detectable object blends
in with the surrounding area, such
as when it is dim (at dawn or dusk)
or dark (at night or in a tunnel)
• When the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
after the hybrid system was
started

active steering function) tim-
ing will also be changed.
When later is selected, the
emergency steering assist
(excluding the active steering
function) will not operate in most
cases.
Vehicles with a driver monitor
camera: When the system
determines that the driver is
not facing forward, the pre-
collision warning and emer-
gency steering assist will
operate at the earlier timing,
regardless of the user setting.
When the dynamic radar
cruise control is operating, the
pre-collision warning will
operate at the earlier timing,
regardless of the user setting.
Vehicles with Traffic Jam
Assist: When the Traffic Jam
Assist is operating, the pre-
collision warning will operate
at the earlier timing, regard-
less 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 this function only on highways
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 provi ded 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 and this function will be
temporarily canceled.
If the steering wheel is firmly
gripped, the f unction will begin
operating again.
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
LTA functions
3065-5. Using the driving support systems
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.
