Adjusting Lane Departure Alert (LDA) sensitivity
The driver can adjust the sensitivity of
the LDA (warning) function from the MID
customization screen.
High: Warns before the front tire crosses the
lane marker.
Standard: Warns when the front tire crosses
the lane marker.
The sway warning function can detect swaying based on the vehicle location in
the lane and the driver’s steering wheel operation. To help prevent swaying, the
system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning displays in the MID.
Sway control function
LDA function
When the system determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane, a warning is displayed on the MID
and the warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver.
Steering Assist function
When the system determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane, the system provides assistance
as necessary by operating the steering wheel in small
amounts for a short period of time to keep the vehicle
in its lane.
Vehicle sway warning
When the vehicle is swaying or appears as if it may
depart from its lane multiple times, the warning
buzzer sounds and a message is displayed on the
MID to alert the driver.
When the system determines that the vehicle might depart
from its lane, the system provides assitance as necessary by
operating the steering wheel in small amounts for a short
period of time to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been
operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel
is not being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the
MID and the warning buzzer sounds.

(1) (2) (3) To change the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance
Push the “
” button on
steering wheel to cycle through
the settings, which will change
progressively from:
LONG (default setting)
MIDDLE
SHORT.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 400ft (120m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the
vehicle ahead.
Preceding

(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in
order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
