■The Adaptive High-beam System can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off or changed to variable shade beam
in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly 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
●High beam may be turned off or variable shade beam may be changed to 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 or variable shade beam to be changed to and may
change the area that is shielded.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on or
off, or the speed by which the shielded areas change:
• 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 only 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 and variable shade beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by
the driver.
●Small vehicles, such as bicycles, may not be detected.

CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles are in
front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 319) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious accident
may result.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-veh icle distance control may not function
correctly
Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sensor may
not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious accident may
result:
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the function-
ing of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the trunk etc.)
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly

Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
the driver using rapid beeping, indications on the multi-information dis-
play, and a sensory warning* given via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the direction of the
center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function
• This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the dynamic radar crui se control with full-speed range
( P. 328) is set with vehicle speed above approximately 72 km/h
(45 mph) and while the lane departure warning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist function is active, a slight steering
torque will be applied, to help th e driver maintain the vehicle inside
the lane.
The lane keeping assist function will be temporarily canceled if the steering
wheel is not operated, or if you continue driving with your hands lightly touch-
ing the steering wheel. ( P. 349)

It may be difficult to feel the sensory warning depending on the road conditions.
■No-handed driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for approximately 15 seconds on a straight road
or approximately 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the
multi-information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will be tem-
porarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly touching the steer-

●When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall, standing
water, etc.
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when driving
on an extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
●When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or
when the headlights are misaligned
●When driving with a strong crosswind
●When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads
■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, such as snow tires, etc., sufficient performance may not
be maintainable.
■Warning messages for LKA
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver
of the need for caution while driving. ( P. 614)
CAUTION
■Before using the LKA system
Do not rely solely on the LKA system. The LKA system does not drive the vehicle
automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the
driver must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her surround-
ings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving
safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■To avoid operating the LKA by mistake
Switch the LKA off using the LKA switch when not in use.
