A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See“BSW/BSI driving
situations” (P.5-40).)

Warning systems switch
The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the BSW system when it is
activated using the settings menu on the
center display. See “How to enable/disable
the BSW system using the settings menu”
(P.5-36).
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if the BSW, the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and the
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems
are deactivated.
For the LDW and FCW systems, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system/Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system”
(P.5-
23) and “Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
system” (P.5-83).

BSI SYSTEM OPERATIONY51D-V-E01-96B4C4EA-DE72-44A7-840F-25C8167EECC1If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
.
Warning and system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the
BSW/BSI indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker. If another
vehicle comes into the detection zone
after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake applica-
tion will be activated. (See “BSW/BSI
driving situations” (P.5-40).)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot
Intervention” is enabled in the settings
menu on the center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI is activated even if the BSW system is
off.

traveling ahead. The sensor generally
detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if
the sensor cannot detect the reflector on
the vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not
maintain the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot detect the signals:
.When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is positioned high on the vehicle
(trailer, etc.)
. When the reflector on the vehicle ahead
is missing, damaged or covered
. When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is covered with dirt, snow and road
spray
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the sensor’s visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the trunk of
your vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system. When the sensor is covered with dirt or obstructs, the
system will automatically be canceled. If
the sensor is covered with ice, a transpar-
ent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC
system may not detect them. In these
instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode may not cancel and may not
be able to maintain the selected following
distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead; the system will
decelerate the vehicle as necessary and if
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-
ever, the ICC system can only apply up to
25% of the vehicles total braking power.
This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to
remain fairly constant or when vehicle
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-
rates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system
cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly en-
ough. If this occurs, the ICC system will
sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. The system
will also disengage when the vehicle goes
above the maximum set speed.
See
“Approach warning” (P.5-63).
The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
. When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
between approximately 20 and 90 MPH
(32 and 144 km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed
range is up to the set speed. If the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill with-
in the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges a
standstill with a warning chime.

DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST OP-
ERATION
Y51D-V-E01-B04160A4-4E97-484F-B700-2A0B402937B4Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
decelerate to maintain the proper following
distance. The Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system may not be able to decelerate the
vehicle under some circumstances.
The DCA system uses a sensor
*Alocated
on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor gen-
erally detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if
the sensor cannot detect the reflector on the vehicle ahead, the DCA system may not
operate.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot detect the signals:
.
When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is positioned high on the vehicle
(trailer, etc.)
. When the reflector on the vehicle ahead
is missing, damaged or covered
. When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is covered with dirt, snow and road
spray
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the sensor’s visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle
The DCA system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation. When
the sensor is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the DCA system may not detect them. In these instances, the Distance Control
Assist (DCA) system may not be able to
decelerate the vehicle properly. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
The DCA system is designed to help assist
the driver to maintain a following distance
from the vehicle ahead. The system will
decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the
DCA system can only apply up to 25% of
the vehicles total braking power. If a
vehicle 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 decelerate 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.
See
“Approach warning” (P.5-80).
This system only brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward to help assist the
driver to maintain a following distance
from the vehicle ahead. Acceleration
should be operated by the driver.

The FCW system uses the distance sensor
*Alocated below the front bumper to
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead.
When the system judges that your vehicle

indicator light on the instrument panel
blinks and a warning chime sounds.
PRECAUTIONS ON FCW SYSTEMY51D-V-E01-60BB171C-DEDD-4764-BF3C-44B6B0E46229
WARNING
. The FCW system is intended to warn you
before a collision but will not avoid a
collision. 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 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 (forexample, 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 or 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
road spray.
—When visibility is low (such as rain,fog, snow, etc.).
—When snow or road spray fromtraveling vehicles is splashed.
—When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the visibility of the sensor.
—When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
luggage room of your vehicle.
—When abruptly accelerating or de-celerating.
—On a steep downhill slope or onroads with sharp curves.
—When there is a highly reflectiveobject near the vehicle ahead (for
example, being very close to another
vehicle, signboard, etc.)
. Depending on certain road conditions
(curved or beginning of a curve), vehicle
conditions (steering position or vehicle
position), or the preceding vehicle’s
conditions (position in lane, etc.), the
system may not function properly. The
system may detect highly reflective
objects such as reflectors, signs, white
markers, and other stationary objects on
the road or near the traveling lane and
provide unnecessary warning.
