— When the vehicle’s traveling di-rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit
detection range.
— When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in front
of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or
if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the
light directly shines on the front
of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
— When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
— When entering or exiting toll- gates.

Automatic deactivation
Active Lane Control is not designed to
operate under the following conditions:
. When the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system (except TCS function) or
ABS operates.
. When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the
direction of the signal. (Active Lane
Control is deactivated for approximately
2 seconds after the lane change signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
After the above conditions have finished and
the operating conditions are satisfied again,
Active Lane Control will resume operation.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then Ac-
tive Lane Control is turned on, Active Lane
Control may be deactivated automatically.
The high cabin temperature message will
appear in the vehicle information display
.
Action to take:
When the interior temperature is reduced,
push the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn Active Lane Control back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If Active Lane Control malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The chassis control
warning will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.

— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-

properly.— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; nonstandard lane
markers; lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane markers.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-

— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam- ple: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow. — When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering parts or sus-
pension parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

NOTE:
It may take some time until the Idling Stop
System activates under the following con-
ditions:
.when the battery is discharged.
. when the outside temperature is low or
high.
. when the battery is replaced or the
battery terminal is disconnected for
extended periods and then reconnected.
NOTE:
When the Idling Stop System indicator light
illuminates, the engine starts running auto-
matically under at least one of the following
conditions:
. The brake pedal is released with the shift
lever in the D (Drive) or N (Neutral)
position.
. The shift lever is placed in the D (Drive)
or R (Reverse) position from the N
(Neutral) or P (Park) position.
. The driver’s seat belt is unfastened, or
the driver’s door is open.
. The battery voltage becomes low (due to
electrical load from other vehicle sys-
tems like headlights, heaters, etc., or
auxiliary devices connected to the 12
volt socket inside the vehicle).
. The vehicle speed is above about 1 MPH
(2 km/h). .
The front defroster is operated.
. The rear window defroster is operated.
. When the temperature inside the vehicle
is lower than approximately 68°F
(20°C).
. When the temperature inside the vehicle
is higher than approximately 86°F
(30°C). (When the air conditioner is
off, the Idling Stop System will operate.)
. When the front defroster is turned on.
(The engine may not starts depending
on the outside temperature.)
. When more than 3 minutes have elapsed
since the Idling Stop System was active.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When the steering wheel is operated.
(The steering wheel operation may be-
come heavy, but this is not a malfunc-
tion.)
. When the battery capacity is low.
. When the power consumption is high.
. When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position.
NOTE:
The following condition will prevent the
Idling Stop System from automatically re-
starting the engine. Starting the engine
with the ignition switch operation is then
necessary: .
The hood is open.
Use this system while waiting at stoplight,
etc. When the vehicle is stopped for long
periods of time, turn off the engine.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, heating, cooling and dehumi-
difying functions will be deactivated. To
avoid the air conditioning functions from
being deactivated, turn off the Idling Stop
mode by pushing the Idling Stop OFF switch.
RETROGRADE MOVEMENT
CONTROL FUNCTION
This system is designed to reduce the retro-
grade movement that occurs while the
driver’s foot changes from depressing the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal when
moving the vehicle while the Idling Stop
System is active on a hilly road.
IDLING STOP SYSTEM DISPLAY
The status of the Idling Stop System can be
checked in the vehicle information display.

If any electrical equipment does not operate,
remove the extended storage fuse switch
and check for an open fuse.NOTE:
If the extended storage fuse switch mal-
functions or if the fuse is open, it is not
necessary to replace the switch. In this case,
remove the extended storage fuse switch
and replace it with a new fuse of the same
rating.
How to remove the extended storage fuse
