Driving
■The Automatic High Beam can be operated when
The “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles su ddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to repeated
curves, road dividers or roadside trees
• When oncoming vehicles appear fr om the faraway lane on wide road
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles have no lights
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights without
using the headlights is detected.
●House lights, street lights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may
cause the high beam to turn off.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on or
off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and preced- ing vehicles
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle on ly has operational lights on one side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system will be temporarily canceled.
The function will resume after the necessary operating conditions have returned.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several seconds
after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while the
audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear the warn-
ing sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message ( P. 779) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin
decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 267) becomes suit-
able for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane markers
could not be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing
or before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or
improper tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the system to
recognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, “Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement marker” or
stones
