■Steering assist function
When the system determines that the
vehicle might depart from its lane or
course
*, the system provides assis-
tance as necessary by operating the
steering wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the vehicle
in its lane.
When the system determines that the vehi-
cle might depart from its lane and that the
possibility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
steering assist function will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying within a
lane, the warning buzzer will sound and
a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to alert the
driver.
■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required assis-
tance by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the lane
centering function does not operate.
In situations where the white (yellow) lane
lines are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, this function
will operate to help follow a preceding
vehicle by monitoring the position of the
preceding vehicle.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range
●Driving safely is th e sole responsibility
of the driver. Do not rely solely on the
system, and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attention to your
surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range provides driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-
den. However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor ma y not be correctly
detecting the vehicle ahead:
P.195
• Conditions under which the vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly:
P.196
●Set the speed appropriately depend-
ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
●Even when the system is functioning
normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system
may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, the
driver must always remain alert, assess
the danger of each situation and drive
safely. Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures safety
while driving can lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range setting to off,
using the “ON/OFF” button when not
in use.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the driving assist
systems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system. Failure to do so
may cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure follow-
ing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to help
the driver in determining the following
distance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead. It is not a me chanism that allows
careless or inattentive driving, and it is
not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay close
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether the
following distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is
not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include func-
tions which will prevent or avoid colli-
sions with vehicles ahead of your vehicle.
Therefore, if there is ever any possibility
of danger, the driver must take immedi-
ate and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure the
safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range in any of the follow-
ing situations. Doing so may result in
inappropriate speed control and could
cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those cov-
ered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed
when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and highways
●When weather conditions are bad
enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detectin g correctly (fog,
snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on the
front surface of the radar or front cam-
era
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is
heard often
