WARNING
■Situations in which the sys-
tem may not operate properly
In the following situations, the
system may not operate properly
and the vehicle may depart from
its lane. Do not overly rely on
these functions. The driver is
solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering wheel
as necessary to ensure safety.
3205-5. Using the driving support systems
PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.321) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully. ( P.323)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.

ing assist off

tance to a detectable object on the
side of the road is performed and
the system determines the driver
is not holding the steering wheel
If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, a buzzer will

This warning may also operate if the
driver only operates steering wheel
a small amount continuously.
■Warning operation after preced-

After preceding vehicle decelera-
tion assistance has ended, if the
driver does not operate the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal and the
vehicle approaches the preceding
vehicle, the display will flash and a
buzzer will sound to urge the driver
to decelerate. If the system deter-
mines that the driver is operating the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal,
the warning will be canceled.
