The system detects lane markings in order to help prevent departure from the lane. If you
drive on expressways, freeways or interstate highways at speeds above approximately 40
MPH (65 km/h) and the vehicle is about to depart from the lane, the system assists the
steering operation by turning it to the direction that will help prevent the lane departure.
■How to use Lane Departure Prevention Function

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ling very slowly, if the system determines that
the accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, a buzzer will sound
several short beeps, and “Obstacle Detected”
will be shown on the pop-up display area of
the multi information display. The lead vehicle
indicator will also flash.
This function only activates when the trans-
mission select lever is in the or posi-
tion.
WARNING
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid colli-
sions in many situations. Always check the selector lever and pedal
positions as well as the surrounding environment before starting and
operating the vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management could result in an accident.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this function will not reduce acceleration in
cases where no obstacle is recognized (for example when approaching a
cliff, etc.)
xDo not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there
are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.

xIf your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Ÿ Refer to page 67.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
xBad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
xWhen visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
xWhen light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
xIn a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
xWhen there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
xWhen affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
xWhen there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
xWhen fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
xWhen obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo
cameras’ field of view
xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xWith low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
xWhen the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
xWith small animals or children.
xWith pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
xWhen the rear portion
nearest your vehicle is
too small or too close
(such as a trailer or
oncoming vehicle) the
system may not recog-
nize the part of that
vehicle which is closest
to you.
