Turning off
When the TJA switch is pressed while the TJA is operating, the TJA turns off.
▼ Shift-up/Shift-down Request
Display (Manual Transmission)
The shift-up or shift-down request
display might be displayed while the
TJA is operating. When this occurs, shift
gears because the gear position is not
appropriate.
Request Indication on display
Shift up Shift Up to a Higher Gear

NOTE
If the gears are not shifted up even
though the shift-up request
indication is displayed, load will be
applied to the engine and the TJA
might be automatically canceled or
engine damage could occur.
If the gears are not shifted down
even though the shift-down request
indication is displayed, the TJA might
be automatically canceled or engine

driving.
Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides steering assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display. Use the
system when you drive the vehicle on
roads with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LAS:

The LAS is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the system is not
designed to compensate for a
driver’s lack of caution, and
over-reliance on the system could
lead to an accident.

multi-information display changes
from white to green and the system
becomes operational.
The vehicle speed is about 64 km/h
(40 mph) or faster.
The system detects white (yellow)
lane lines.
NOTE
When the system does not detect a
white (yellow) lane line on one side
only, the system does not operate on
the side that is not being detected.

system
The LAS goes on standby in the
following cases: The LAS operation is
automatically restored when the
system's operation conditions are met.
The system cannot detect white
(yellow) lane lines.

The LAS stops functioning in the
following cases:
The temperature in the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is too high or
too low.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is foggy.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is blocked by
an obstruction, causing poor forward
visibility.

The vehicle is being towed or towing
another vehicle.
 The vehicle is driven on rough roads
such as in areas where there is grass
and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation on
page 4-176.
NOTE
During the SBS brake control, the
brake pedal may move rearward or
become stiff. The brakes are operating,
but continue to depress the brake
pedal.
Forward detection function
The forward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with target objects
at the front.
The forward detection function detects
target objects (vehicles ahead,
pedestrians, and bicycles) using the
front radar sensor and the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC). If there is a
possibility of your vehicle colliding with
a target object at the front, you are
notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, the brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision. In addition, when
the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the brakes are applied firmly and
quickly to assist.

(Vehicles with Driver Monitoring
(DM))
If the system determines that the driver
is not paying attention to the road, it
activates the collision warning earlier
than normal.
Operation conditions
The forward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The ignition is switched ON.The SBS is on.(Object is vehicle ahead)
The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h
(3 mph) or higher.
(Object is a pedestrian or bicycle)
The vehicle speed is between about
10 and 80 km/h (6.3 to 49 mph).
The DSC does not operate.
NOTE
When any of the following
conditions is met, the forward
detection function may not operate.
If there is the possibility of hitting
only a part of a vehicle or
obstruction ahead.
You are driving your vehicle at the
same speed as the vehicle ahead.
When the driver deliberately
performs driving operations
(accelerator operation, steering
wheel operation).
The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The brake pedal is depressed.The steering wheel is being
operated.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is being shifted.
The turn signal lever is being
