■Enabling/disabling the pre-col-
lision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on ( →P.361)
of the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled
each time the engine switch is turned to
ON.
If the system is disabled, the PCS
warning light will turn on and a

multi-information display.
WARNING
• In some situations, while the emer- gency steering assist is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is operated sharply or the brake pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering
assist is operating, if the steering wheel is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which
the system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop- erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the
tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using
a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-ter, or when using an on vehicle
wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to
the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning

4-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course*, and also can
slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise control is
operating, this system will operate
the steering wheel to maintain the
vehicle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course*
using the front camera. Additionally,
it detects preceding vehicles using
the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb

Summary of functions
WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that
must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving
safely by paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from
driving for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off. Fail-ure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to con-
struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc., are
equipped.
