When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a
vehicle traveling ahead. This may cause
the system to work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the lane,
etc.) or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the
system may warn you by blinking the
system indicator and sounding the chime
unexpectedly. You will have to manually
control the proper distance away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

Operating Distance Control Assist
(DCA) system
GUID-2A3B16C5-21B7-4211-80BC-FB23940D7397
WARNING
When the DCA system is not necessary, be
sure to turn off the DCA switch. Using the
system when it is not necessary may result
in an accident.
The dynamic driver assistance switch is
used for both the LDP and DCA systems.
When the dynamic driver assistance switch
is pushed, the LDP system will also turn on
or off simultaneously. The DCA system can
be individually set to on or off on the
display. If the system is set to off, the
system will not turn on even if the dynamic
driver assistance switch is pushed to on. To
set the system to on or off on the display,
see“Setting DCA system to ON/OFF” later
in this section.

3. To set the DCA system to on or off,highlight the “Distance Control Assist”
key, select ON or OFF and push the

If both the LDP and DCA systems are set to
OFF on the display, when the dynamic
driver assistance switch is pushed, the LDP
ON indicator light and the Distance Control
Assist (DCA) system switch indicator light
will blink for approximately 2 seconds. See
“Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system/
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system”
earlier in this section for LDP system.

System operationGUID-C6A46949-EB7A-4EF4-863E-108F23B571A5
WARNING
The Distance Control Assist system auto-
matically decelerates your vehicle to help
assist the driver to maintain a following
distance from the vehicle ahead. Manually
brake when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance upon sudden
braking by the vehicle ahead or when a vehicle suddenly appears in front of you.
Always stay alert when using the DCA
system.
The Distance Control Assist (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:

NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when
the sensor detects some reflectors
*Awhich are fitted on vehicles in other lanes
or on the side of the road. This may cause
the DCA system to operate inappropriately.
The sensor may detect these reflectors
when the vehicle is driven on winding
roads, hilly roads or when entering or
exiting a curve. The sensor may also detect
reflectors on narrow roads or in road
construction zones. In these cases you
will have to manually control the proper
distance ahead of your vehicle.Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or
vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle
is being driven with some damage).

Vehicle ahead detection indicator lightThe IBA system uses a distance sensor
*Alocated below the front bumper to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead. When
the system judges that your vehicle is
getting close to the vehicle ahead in the
traveling lane, the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light on the instrument panel
blinks and a warning chime sounds.
The IBA system will be turned on/off by
pushing the IBA OFF switch. The IBA OFF
indicator light display will illuminate when
the system is turned off.
PRECAUTIONS ON IBA SYSTEMGUID-66EB5550-911F-4933-B102-ACD397FF2091
WARNING
.
The IBA system is not a collision
avoidance system. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
. As there is a performance limit, the
system may not provide a warning or
braking in certain conditions.
. The system will not detect the following
objects:
—Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway
—Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. The system will not detect another
vehicle under the following conditions:
—When the sensor gets dirty and it is
impossible to detect the distance
from the vehicle ahead.
—When driving into a strong light(i.e., sunlight)
. The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the reflectors on a vehicle
ahead. Therefore, the system may not
function properly under the following
conditions:
—When the reflectors of the vehicle
ahead are positioned high or close to
each other (including a small vehicle
such as motorcycles).
—When the sensor gets dirty and it isimpossible to detect the distance
from the vehicle ahead.
—When the reflectors on the vehicle
ahead are missing, damaged or
covered.
—When the reflectors of the vehicleahead are covered with dirt, snow or
