(The LAS&LDWS is designed to assist
the driver's steering operation and it
will resume operation automatically
when the driver holds the steering
wheel.)
•The TCS OFF switch is pressed to
cancel the TCS.
Steering operation assist OFF
(non-operational)
The steering operation assist for the
LAS&LDWS can be changed to
non-operational (OFF).
Refer to Setting Cha nge (Personalization
Features) on page 9-11.
When the steering operation assist has
been changed to non-operational (OFF),
the operation conditions and the display of
the LAS&LDWS differ. Operate the
system as follows:
System operation
Make sure that the LAS&LDWS OFF
switch indicator light is turned off. When
the LAS&LDWS OFF switch indicator
light turns on, press the switch and make
sure that the switch i ndicator light turns
off.
Indicator light
Drive the vehicle in the center of the
driving lane while the LAS&LDWS OFF
switch indicator light is turned off.
The system becomes operational when all
of the following conditions are met.
•The system detects white (yellow) lane
lines on both the right and left sides or
on either side.
•The vehicle speed is about 60 km/h (37
mph) or faster.
•The vehicle is driven on a straight road
or road with gentle curves.
•The engine is running.
The LAS&LDWS goes on stand-by status
in the following cases:

lane lines.
•The vehicle speed is less than about 60
km/h (37 mph).
•The vehicle is making a sharp curve.
•The vehicle is making a curve at an
inappropriate speed.
NOTE
•The LAS&LDWS remains on stand-by
until it detects white (yellow) lines on
both the left and right sides, or on either
side.
•When the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not activ ate warnings for the
lane line on the side that is not being
detected.
•The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which the
system uses to determine the possibility
of a lane departure can be changed.

▼Lane Departure Warning
If the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, the lane departure
warning (beep sound, rumble sound
*1, or steering wheel vibration) is activated and the
direction in which the system determines that the vehicle may d eviate is indicated in the
multi-information display an d the active driving display.
If the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, the color of the lane line
on the side being detected by the system changes from white to amber, and flashes.

NOTE
•If you have set the lane departure warning sound to the beep sound/rumble sound*1
setting, the warning sound may not be heard depending on the surrounding noise
conditions.
•If you have set the lane departure warning system to the steering wheel vibrations setting,
the vibration may not be felt dependi ng on the road surface conditions.
•When the setting for the steering operation assist is changed to operational, the warnings
can be set to activate/not activate. (When the setting for the steering operation assist is
changed to non-operational, the warnings cannot be set to not activate.)

•Steering wheel vibration: Strong/weak
•Warning sound volume
•Types of warnings (steering wheel vibration/beep sound/rumble sound*1)
*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in the road pavement surface positioned at specific
intervals, and when the vehicle passes over it a vibration and rumble sound is produced
which alerts the driver that the vehicle is departing from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of the sound which occurs when a vehicle passes
over a rumble strip.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision using the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 k m/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist

Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
 The Advanced SCBS system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being
mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
 The Advanced SCBS system operates in respo nse to a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian. The
system does not operate in response to obstru ctions such as a wall, 2-wheeled vehicles, or
animals.

In the following cases, turn the system off to prevent a mis-operation:
The vehicle is being towed or when towing another vehicle.
 The vehicle is on a chassis roller.
 When driving on rough roads such as in areas of dense grass or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) System Operation
on page 4-137 on how to turn off the Advanced SCBS system.

The vehicle speed is between about 10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph).
•The Advanced SCBS system is not turned off.
•Under the following conditions, the Advan ced SCBS system may not operate normally:
•The Advanced SCBS system will not operate if the driver is deliberately performing
driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
•If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
•The vehicle is driven on a slippery road surface such as wet roads or icy or snow-bound
roads.
•The braking performance is adversely affected due to cold temperatures or wet brakes.
•The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The steering wheel is being operated.
•The selector lever is being operated.
•In the following cases, the Advanced SCBS may operate.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.
•Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)*
The SCBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the display
and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detec ts a vehicle ahead and
determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being
driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system
reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the bra ke control (Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a collisi on is unavoidable while the
vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/ h (2 to 18 mph). It may also
be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you is less than about 20 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal while the system is i n the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Ass ist (Smart City Brake Support
