■Hands off steering wheel warning
In the following situations, a warning
message urging the driver to hold the
steering wheel and the symbol shown in
the illustration are displayed on the
multi-information display to warn the
driver. The warning stops when the sys-
tem determines that the driver holds the
steering wheel. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the system is
operating
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel, the
buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and
the function is temporarily canceled.
This warning also operates in the same
way when the driver continuously oper-
ates the steering wheel only a small
amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may not turn and instead
depart from its lane on a curve while
the lane centering function is operat-
ing.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines
that the vehicle is driving around a
curve, warnings will occur earlier than
during straight-lane driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the
steering wheel while the steering
wheel assist of the steering assist
function is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their
hands off of the steering wheel and the
steering wheel assist is operating, the
buzzer sounds and the driver is warned.
Each time the buzzer sounds, the con-
tinuing time of the buzzer becomes lon-
ger.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to steering wheel vibration.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system determines that the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle
sway warning function is operating, a
buzzer sounds and a warning message
urging the driver to rest and the symbol
shown in the illustration are simultane-
ously displayed on the multi-information
display.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-
ditions, the warning may not operate.
■Warning message
If the following warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information display
and the LTA indicator illuminates in
orange, follow the appropriate trouble-
shooting procedure. Also, if a different
warning message is displayed, follow
the instructions displayed on the screen.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control
●Driving safely is the sole responsi-bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by
always paying careful attention to your surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden. How- ever, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be cor- rectly detecting the vehicle ahead: → P. 2 2 2
• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: →P. 2 2 3
●Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather con-
ditions, etc. The driver is responsi- ble for checking the set speed.
●Even when the system is function-ing normally, the condition of the preceding vehicle as detected by
the system may differ from the con- dition observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always
remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an accident, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise
control setting to off, using the cruise control main switch when not in use.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided by the system. Failure to do
so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure fol-lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is
only intended to help the driver in
determining the following distance
between the driver’s own vehicle and
a designated vehicle traveling ahead.
It is not a mechanism that allows
careless or inattentive driving, and it
is not a system that can assist the
driver in low-visibility conditions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.

Driving
WARNING
●Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vig-
ilant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which will
prevent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle. Therefore,
if there is ever any possibility of dan-
ger, the driver must take immediate
and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high-ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer (vehicles with towing pack- ages) or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of 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 deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position

Driving
Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accor-
dance with vehicle speed.
1 Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
However, cruise control does not
resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or
less.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise
control is not possible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound
to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts
in front of you while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.

the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is
outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system
can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard
and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are
used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message
is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions. (→P.191, 377)
■When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate the brake
pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning (→P.219) may not be
activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane

RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or naviga-
tion system (when speed limit
information is available) to pro-
vide information to the driver
via the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over the
speed limit, performing prohib-
ited actions, etc., in relation to
the recognized road signs, it
notifies the driver using a noti-
fication display and notifica-
tion buzzer.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports the driver by providing information,
but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful
attention to the traffic rules.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
