2545-2. Driving procedures
Modes can be changed by
pressing the power switch with
the brake pedal released. (The
mode changes each time the
switch is pressed.)
WARNING
■Stopping the hybrid system
in an emergency
●If you want to stop the hybrid
system in an emergency while
driving the vehicle, press and
hold the power switch for more
than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in suc-
cession. (P.547)
However, do not touch the
power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the hybrid system off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
●If the power switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-information display
and a buzzer sounds.
●When restarting the hybrid sys-
tem after an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift position to
N and press the power switch
shortly and firmly.
■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases to enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the hybrid system operating for
a long time. If such a situation
cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do
not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the hybrid system
operating in an area with snow
build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the hybrid sys-
tem is operating, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.

■Operation of the lane departure
alert function/lane departure
prevention function
●Depending on the vehicle speed, road conditions, lane departure
angle, etc., operation of the lane
departure prevention function may
not be felt or the function may not
operate.
●Depending on the conditions, the
warning buzzer may operate even
if vibration is selected through a
customize setting.
●If a course* is not clear or straight,
the lane departure alert function or
lane departure prevention function
may not operate.
●The lane departure alert function
or lane departure prevention func-
tion may not operate if the system
judges that the vehicle is inten-
tionally being steered to avoid a
pedestrian or parked vehicle.
●Vehicles with BSM: It may not be
possible for the sys tem to judge if
there is danger of a collision with a
vehicle in an adjacent lane.
●Vehicles with a driver monitor
camera: Depending on the driver
condition, the lane departure alert
function or lane departure preven-
tion function changes the timing of
operation.
●The steering assist operation of
the lane departure prevention
function can be overridden by the
steering wheel operation of the
driver.

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 medi-
cal emergency, etc.
During LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) control, if the sys-
tem does not detect driving
operations, such as if the
driver is not holding the
steering wheel, and deter-
mines 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 colli-
sion.
The vehicle will also decel-
erate/stop during the Traffic
Jam Assist (if equipped)
controls, when no driver’s
response to the vehicle’s
warning to hold the steering
wheel is detected.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving. The emer-
gency driving stop system is
designed to provide support in
an emergency where it is diffi-
cult 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 driv-
ing 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 con-
tinue driving, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions. Therefore, it
may not always be able to
achieve the same level of per-
formance. 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, imme-
diately 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.
●After this system operates, pas-
sengers 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 guard-
rail.

3465-5. Using the driving support systems
Operation of this system is sep-
arated 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 “deceler-
ation 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 on
Or during the Traffic Jam Assist (if
equipped) controls
●When the vehicle speed is
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) or more
During the Traffic Jam Assist con-
trols (if equipped), the system may
operate at below 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (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, emergency
flasher 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: P.291
■LTA control when operation is
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently 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-
WARNING
●This system detects the condi-
tion 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 oper-
ate 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.
●Situations in which the driver
monitor may not operate prop-
erly: P.291

Driving
formed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter
warning phase 2.
Vehicles with a driver monitor
camera: Depending on the type
of detection of the driver’s unre-
sponsiveness, the system may
skip warning phase 1 and start
the control of 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 deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such
as holding the steering wheel,
are not performed within a cer-
tain 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 respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerat-
ing, the brake lights may illumi-
nate, depending on the road
conditions, etc.
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 decel-erate and stop. After the vehicle
stops, the system will enter the
stop and 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 continu-
ously and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.
■Restricted functions after the
operation is canceled
After shifting to the deceleration
stop phase, the following functions
will not be available until the hybrid
system is re-started even though
the emergency driving stop system
is canceled:
●LTA
●LCA (if equipped)
●Traffic Jam Assist (if equipped)

The Traffic Jam Assist function,
through confirmation of the con-
ditions by the driver, provides
lane keeping, accelerat-
ing/decelerating and stopping
support on some highways and
expressways.
This function is operable when
all of the operation conditions
are met. When this function is
operating, it is possible to take
your hands off of the steering
wheel.
Before using the Traffic Jam Assist
function, familiari ze yourself with
the content of the dynamic radar
cruise control and the LTA (Lane
Tracing Assist).
Make sure that the driver steers the
vehicle when entering a service
area/parking area or toll gate, or
when changing lanes.
