When the system is operating, the brake pedal may feel stiffer than expected or sink. In either situation, the brake pedal can be depressed further. Further depress the brake pedal as necessary.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses sensors to detect objects in the path of the vehicle. When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a detectable object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action, and the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing can be changed.

WARNING

For safe use
- Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. Never use the pre-collision system in place of normal braking operations.
  This system cannot help avoid or reduce the impact of a collision in every situation. Overreliance on this system to drive the vehicle safely may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
- Although the pre-collision system is designed to help avoid or help reduce the impact of a collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions. Therefore, it may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance.
  Read the following items carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.

When to disable the pre-collision system
When it is necessary to disable the system:

Detectable objects

The system can detect the following as detectable objects.
(Detectable objects differ depending on the function.)

Vehicles
Bicycles*
Pedestrians
Motorcycles*

: Detected as a detectable object only when being ridden.

System functions

Pre-collision warning

When the system determines that the possibility of a collision is high, a buzzer will sound and an icon and warning message will be displayed on the multiinformation display to urge the driver to take evasive action.
If the detectable object is a vehicle, moderate braking will be performed with the warning.

A. “Pre-Collision System”

If the system determines that the accelerator pedal is strongly depressed, the following icon and message will be displayed on the multi-information display.

A. “Accelerator Pedal is Pressed”

Pre-collision brake assist

If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is high and the brake operation by the driver is insufficient, the braking power will be increased.

Pre-collision brake control

If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the impact of the collision.

Emergency steering assist

If the system determines that the following conditions are met, assistance will be provided to help enhance vehicle stability and prevent lane departure. During assistance, in addition to the pre-collision warning, the following icon will be displayed on the multi-information display.

The possibility of a collision is high
There is sufficient space within the lane to perform evasive steering maneuvers
The driver is operating the steering wheel.

During assistance, the pre-collision warning will operate and a message will be displayed to warn the driver.

Intersection collision avoidance support (left/right turn)

In situations such as the following, if the system determines that the possibility of a collision is high, the pre-collision warning and pre-collision braking will operate. Depending on the intersection, assistance may not operate correctly.

When turning left/right at an intersection and crossing the path of an oncoming vehicle.
When turning left/right and an oncoming pedestrian or bicycle is detected.

Intersection collision avoidance support (crossing vehicles)

At an intersection, etc., if the system determines that the possibility of a collision with an approaching vehicle or motorcycle is high, the pre-collision warning and pre-collision braking will operate. Depending on the intersection, assistance may not operate correctly.

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 possibility of a collision, EV system output will be restrained or the brakes will be applied weakly to restrict acceleration. During operation, a buzzer will sound and a warning indicator and message will be displayed on the multi-information display.

A. “Accelerator Pedal is Pressed”

WARNING

Pre-collision braking

When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be applied.
Pre-collision braking function is not intended for remain stopped. If the vehicle is stopped by pre-collision braking function, the driver should operate the brakes as necessary.
The pre-collision braking function 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 taking 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 system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the Acceleration Suppression at Low-Speed function from operating.

Emergency steering assist

The emergency steering assist will be canceled when the system determines that lane departure prevention control has been completed.
Depending on operations performed by the driver, emergency 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 accelerator 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 the emergency steering assist operation may be canceled.
- While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steering wheel is held or turned in the opposite direction of system operation, the emergency steering assist operation will be canceled.

Operating conditions of each function of the pre-collision system

The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a detected object is high.
However, the system will not operate 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

WARNING

Before using the LTA system

Do not overly rely on the LTA system. The LTA system is not a system that provides automated assistance in driving and it is not a system which reduces the amount of attention necessary for safe driving. 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 careful attention may lead to an accident.
When not using the LTA system, turn it off using the LTA switch.

Operating conditions of function

This function is operable when all of the following conditions are met:

The LTA system detects lane lines or the path of preceding or surrounding vehicles (except when the preceding vehicle is small, such as a motorcycle).
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 is not operating.
The vehicle is being driven in the center of a lane.

Temporary cancelation of functions

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 function will automatically be restored.
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 function when the LTA is operating

Even if the LDA warning method is changed to vibration of the steering 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 equivalent 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 warning operation

In the following situations, 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 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 warning is operating or not.

When the system determines the driver is not holding the steering wheel while the function is operating
If no operations are detected for a certain amount of time, a buzzer will sound, the warning will operate, and the function will be temporarily canceled. This warning may also operate if the driver only operates steering wheel a small amount continuously.
Depending on the condition of the vehicle, handle control condition and road surface, the warning function may not operate.

Enabling/disabling the system

The LTA will change between enabled/disabled each time the LTA switch is pressed. When the LTA is enabled, the LTA indicator will illuminate.

WARNING

RSA (Road Sign Assist)

The RSA system recognizes specific road signs using the front camera and/or navigation system (when speed limit information is available) to provide information to the driver via the display. If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed limit, performing prohibited actions, etc. according to the recognized road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notification and notification buzzer.

WARNING

For safe use

Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving.
Do not rely solely upon the RSA. The RSA assists the driver by providing road sign information, but it is not a replacement for the driver’s own vision and awareness.

The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.

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 dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to reduce the driver’s burden.
However, there are limitations to the assistance provided. Read the following items carefully.
Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully. Conditions under which the system may not operate correctly:

WARNING

Set the speed appropriately according to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for confirming the set speed.
Even if the system is operating correctly, the condition of a preceding 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 precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided by the system.
Over-reliance on this system 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 vehicle.
It is not a system which allows for careless or inattentive 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 vehicle 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 vehicle.
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 situations.
As the system will not be able to provide appropriate control, using it may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
When driving on a highway or expressway entrance or exit
When the approach warning sounds frequently

In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may not operate:

When the vehicle is being driven around a gentle curve
When the accelerator pedal is being depressed
When the vehicle is being driven around an extremely short curve

Support for lane change

If your vehicle is being driven at approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or more and a lane change to the passing lane is performed, when the turn signal lever is operated and the lane is changed, the vehicle will accelerate up to the set speed to assist in overtaking. The system’s recognition of which lane is the passing lane may be based solely on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (lefthand drive/right-hand drive). If the vehicle is driven in a location where the passing lane is on the opposite side of that where the vehicle was originally sold, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated away from the passing lane. (e.g. The vehicle was manufactured for a right-hand traffic location, but is being driven in a left-hand traffic location. The vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated to the right.) If your vehicle is being driven at approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or more and the lane is changed to that with a vehicle traveling slower than your vehicle, when the turn signal lever is operated the vehicle will gradually decelerate to assist in changing lanes.

Changing Dynamic radar cruise control settings

The settings of Dynamic radar cruise control can be changed through customize settings.

Cruise control

The vehicle can be driven at a set speed even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. Use the cruise control only on highways and expressways.

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 medical emergency, etc. During LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) control, if the system does not detect driving operations, such as if the driver is not holding the steering wheel, and determines 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 collision

WARNING

For safe use
Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The emergency driving stop system is designed to provide support in an emergency where it is difficult 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 driving 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 continue driving, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions. Therefore, it may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance. 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, immediately 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.

WARNING

After this system operates, passengers 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 guardrail.
This system detects the condition 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 operate 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

Summary of the system

The operation of this system is separated 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 “deceleration 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 onSA
When the vehicle speed is approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or more

Operation cancelation conditions In the following situations, system operation will be canceled:

When LTA control has been canceled (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, hazard light 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

LTA control when operation is canceled

When emergency driving stop system operation is canceled, LTA control may also be canceled.

Warning phase 1

If driving operations are not detected after the hands off steering wheel warning operates, a buzzer will sound intermittently 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 formed within a certain amount of time, the system

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 decelerate. If driving operations, such as holding the steering wheel, are not performed within a certain 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 responsive. When the vehicle is decelerating, the brake lights may illuminate, depending on the road conditions, etc

Deceleration stop phase

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 decelerate and stop. After the vehicle stops, the system will enter the stop and hold phase

Stop 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 continuously and the emergency flashers (hazard lights) will flash to warn other drivers of the emergency.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)

The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper on the left and right side to assist the driver in confirming safety when changing lanes.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot.
Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor.
As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over-reliance could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

When the power switch is turned off.

Object warning function (vehicles with Advanced Park)

The object warning function informs the driver of the existence of objects along the side of the vehicle, using a display and buzzer, if the objects are within the estimated path of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the location of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the object warning function will operate

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not detected.
Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer sounds

Object warning function operating conditions

The Advanced Park is operating.
The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft. (7 m) after the EV system is started.

Camera switch has been pressed and the panoramic view monitor screen is displayed.
The front or rear sensor detects a stationary object.

Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle

Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The location of objects in relation to the vehicle is estimated after they are first detected by the front or rear side sensors, or side cameras. Therefore, after the power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle, it may not be detected until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the side sensors or side cameras completely scan the areas along the sides of the vehicle.
If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is detected by a side sensors or side cameras, but then leaves the detection area of the side sensors or side cameras, the system will assume the object has not moved.

WARNING

Side sensors and side cameras In situations such as the following, the function may not operate correctly, possibly leading to an accident. Proceed carefully.
When starting off shortly after the power switch is turned to ON and a small vehicle or other object which cannot be detected by a front side sensor is next to the vehicle. In the situation shown in the following illustration, even if the vehicle starts off, the vehicle on the left will not be detected and the object warning function will not operate.
When an object or person is in a position which cannot be detected by the side sensors or side cameras.
When, after the side sensors have completed scanning the areas along the sides of the vehicle, a vehicle, person, or other object approaches the side of the vehicle and cannot be detected

WARNING

When the outside rear view mirror is closed, the side sensors or side cameras cannot detect objects.
If the 12-volt battery was discharged or has been removed and installed, fold and extend the outside rear view mirrors
