■Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the pos-
sibility of a frontal collision with a detected object is high.
Each function is operational at the following speed
●Pre-collision warning
● Pre-collision brake assist
● Pre-collision braking
The system may not operate in the following situations:
● If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then
the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If the shift position is in R
● When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning func-
tion will be operational)

Object detection function
■ Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision brakin g function is oper-
ating, it will be canceled:
● The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
● The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
■ Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision
● In some situations such as the following, the system may determ ine that
there is a possibility of a frontal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while overtaking a detectable object, etc.
• When rapidly closing on a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable o bjects,
guardrails, utility poles, trees, or walls
The system detects objects based on
their size, profile, motion, etc. However,
an object may not be detected depending
on the surrounding brightness and the
motion, posture, and angle of the
detected object, preventing the system
from operating properly. (
P. 235) The
illustration shows an image of detectable
objects.
• When approaching a detectableobject in an adjacent lane or on the
roadside, such as when changing the
course of travel or driving on a wind-
ing road
• When there is a detectable object or other object by the roadside at the
entrance of a curve

M62048U(19MY)• When there are patterns or paint in front of your vehicle that
may be mis-
taken for a detectable object
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, et c.
• When a detectable object approaches very close and then stops before
entering the path of your vehicle
• If the front of your vehicle is raised or lowered, such as whe n on an
uneven or undulating road surface
• When driving on a road surrounded by a structure, such as in a tunnel or
on an iron bridge
• When there is a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc. ), steps, or a
protrusion in front of your vehicle

LDA (Lane Depar ture Al ert with steering
control)
When driving on highways and freeways with white (yellow) lane
lines, this function alerts the driver when the vehicle might d epart from
its lane or course
* and provides assistance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its lane or course
*.
The LDA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, 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 LDA system
● Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA system does not auto-
matically 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 surround-
ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigu ed, such
as from driving for a long period of time.
● Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay caref ul attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system
off.
■ Situations unsuitable for LDA system
In the following situations, use the LDA switch to turn the sys tem off. Failure
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-covered road.
● White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fo g, dust, etc.
● A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.

■ Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the functions may not operate prop erly and the
vehicle may depart from its lane. Drive safely by always paying careful
attention to your surroundings and operate the steering wheel t o correct the
path of the vehicle without relying solely on the functions.
● Vehicle is being driven around a sharp curve.
●Objects or patterns that could be mis-
taken for white (yellow) lines are pres-
ent on the side of the road (guardrails,
reflective poles, etc.).
