STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the Steering Assist
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The Steering Assist is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to correct careless, inattentive
or absent-minded driving. The Steering
Assist will not always steer the vehicle to
keep it in the lane. It is not designed to
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times. ∙ As there is a performance limit to the
Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering Assist
does not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Always
drive safely, pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle, and manually control
your vehicle appropriately.
∙ The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways
with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid
risk of an accident, do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads.
∙ The Steering Assist only steers the ve- hicle to maintain its position in the center
of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to
avoid objects in the road in front of the
vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into
your lane.
∙ It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. Never take your
hands off the steering wheel when driv-
ing. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your vehicle
safely.

Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
When a curve or strong cross wind exceeds
the capabilities of the Steering Assist and
your vehicle approaches either the left or the
right side of the traveling lane, a warning
chime sounds and the LDP indicator light
(orange) on the instrument panel flashes to
alert the driver. Then, the LDP system auto-
matically applies the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. This
action is in addition to any Steering Assist
actions.
5-130Starting and driving

NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of firmly
grips) the steering wheel, the steering
torque sensor may not detect the driver’s
hand(s) on the steering wheel and a sequence
of warnings may occur. When the driver
holds and operates the steering wheel again,
the warnings turn off.
Steering Assist limitations
WARNING
∙In the following situations, the camera may
not detect lane markers correctly or may
detect lane markers incorrectly and the

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the DCA system
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
∙ When the vehicle ahead detection indica-tor light is not illuminated, the system
will not control the vehicle or warn the
driver.
∙ Never place your foot under the brake pedal. Your foot may be caught when the
system controls the brake.
∙ Depending on the position of the accel- erator pedal, the system may not be able
to assist the driver to release the accel-
erator pedal appropriately.
LSD3207
5-140Starting and driving

The DCA system brakes and moves the ac-
celerator pedal upward according to the dis-
tance from and the relative speed of the ve-
hicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The system
will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates to a standstill. However, the DCA sys-
tem can only apply up to approximately 40%
of the vehicle’s total braking power. If a ve-
hicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
closer because the DCA system cannot de-
celerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the DCA system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify
the driver to take necessary action. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Approach warn-
ing” in this section.The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelerator
pedal upward in the normal driving condition.
When a vehicle is detected ahead:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on.When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:
∙ If the driver’s foot is not on the accelera- tor pedal, the system activates the brakes
to decelerate smoothly as necessary. If
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system.
∙ If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to re-
lease the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by driver is required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the sys-
tem moves the accelerator pedal upward to
assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal.
NOTE: ∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
