Driving
*: If equipped
The system can detect the follow-
ing:
Vehicles
Bicyclists
Pedestrians
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, a buzzer will sound and a
warning message will be displayed
on the multi-information display to
urge the driver to take evasive
action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, the system applies greater
braking force in relation to how
strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid
the collision or reduce the impact of
the collision.
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
*
The pre-collision system uses
a radar sensor and front cam-
era to detect objects (P.355)
in front of the vehicle. When
the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision
with an object is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and the
potential brake pressure is
increased to help the driver
avoid the collision. If the sys-
tem determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with
an object is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be
disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed.

■Changing the pre-collision
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on the screen
( P.186) of the multi-information

The warning timing setting is retained
when the power switch is turned to
OFF. However, if the pre-collision sys-
tem is disabled and re-enabled, the
operation timing will return to the
default setting (middle).

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
*
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow)
lane lines, this function alerts
the driver when the vehicle
might depart from its lane or
course
* and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course
*. Furthermore,
the system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with full-
speed range is operating to
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) lane lines or a
course
* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects pre-
ceding vehicles using the front
camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass,
soil, or a curb
