*: If equipped
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane*, and also can slightly operate
the steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane*. Also, while
the dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is operating,
this system will operate the steering
wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane
position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines* using the front
camera. Additionally, it detects pre-
ceding vehicles using the front
camera and radar.
*: May recognize the boundaries
between the asphalt and the side of
the road, such as grass, soil, or the
curb, to be road lanes.

■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the
lane centering function does not oper-
ate.
In situations where the white (yellow)
lane lines are difficult to see or are not
visible, such as when in a traffic jam,
this function will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring the
position of the preceding vehicle.
■Turning the lane centering
function ON/OFF
Press the LTA switch.
The lane centering function will change
between ON/OFF each time the switch
is pressed.
The current setting will be displayed on
the multi-information display.

■Operation conditions of each func-
tion
●Lane departure alert function
This function operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
• LTA is turned on. • Vehicle speed is approximately 50
km/h (32 mph) or more.*1
• System recognizes a road lane*2.

• No system malfunctions are detected. ( P.251)*1: The function operates even if the
vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 50 km/h (32 mph) when the
lane centering function is operating.
*2: May recognize the boundaries
between the asphalt and the side of
the road, such as grass, soil, or the
curb, to be road lanes.

following conditions are met in addition
to the operation conditions for the lane
departure alert function.

the multi-information display is set to
“ON”. ( P.494) • Vehicle speed is approximately 50 km/h (32 mph) or more.• Width of traffic lane is approximately 3
m (9.8 ft.) or more. • No system malfunctions are detected. ( P.251)

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
●Driving safely is the sole responsi-bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by
always paying careful attention to your surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range provides driv-ing assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance pro-vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead: P.262

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high- ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or
front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t o an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will acc elerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may b e determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (lef t side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is no rmally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in th e 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 over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
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 syst em then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.259)

2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.

If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the

Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accor-
dance with vehicle speed. When
the vehicle is stopped by system
control, the vehicle stops at a cer-
tain vehicle-to-vehicle distance

After the vehicle ahead of you
starts off, press the “+RES” switch.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of

1Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake
pedal does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise
control is not possible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound
to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts
in front of you while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
Immediately after the cruise con-
trol speed was set
When depressing the accelerator
pedal
When constant speed control mode
is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode does not function correctly
due to a dirty radar, etc.
