Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

466

Driving

■

How the system activates

When a vehicle cuts in front of you is going faster than the vehicle ahead of it, and 
your vehicle is going faster than the cut-in vehicle (i.e., when you need to slow 
down), ACC with Low Speed Follow predicts the cutting-in and adjust your vehicle 
speed.

The system activates when all the following conditions are met:

•

When ACC with Low Speed Follow is activated.

•

When you are driving on a multi-lane road.

•

When your vehicle speed is between about 80 km/h (50 mph) and about 
145 km/h (90 mph).

•

The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.

•

The turn signals are off.

•

The brake pedal is not depressed.

•

When a vehicle cuts in from a slower lane.

■

Intelligent adaptive cruise control on and off

You can turn the system on and off using the gauge or the audio/information 
screen.

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control Function

When traffic changes from right hand side to left 
hand side, driving on a road where there is oncoming 
traffic for some distance automatically switches the 
lane to be detected from right to left.

Intelligent adaptive cruise control may not activate 
under the following conditions:

•

When the speed difference between the cut-in 
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of it in the adjacent 
lane

 is small

•

When the speed difference between the cut-in 
vehicle and your vehicle is small (i.e., when speed 
adjustment is not required)

with no vehicle ahead in the adjacent lane

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Driving

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and 
provides tactile, audible and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its 
lane.

■

Steering input assist

The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and 
right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets closer to 
either of the lane lines.

1

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Important Safety Reminders

The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a 
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does 
not work if you take your hands off the steering 
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

2

Driver Information Interface Warning and 
Information Messages

 P. 130

Do not place objects on the instrument panel. 
Objects may reflect on the windscreen and prevent 
correct detection of the traffic lanes.

The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect 
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will 
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker 
condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on motorways 
or a dual carriage way.

The LKAS may not work properly or may work 
improperly under the certain conditions:

Tactile, audible and visual alerts

Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, audible and a warning display alert you that 
the vehicle is drifting out of a detected lane.

When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and 
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts

Road Departure Mitigation System

Driving

Road Departure Mitigation System

Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings the edge of the pavement, or 
leaving the roadway altogether.

The front camera behind the rearview mirror 
monitors left and right lane markings (in white 
or yellow) and the outer edge of the 
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel). If 
your vehicle is getting too close to detected 
lane markings or the outer edge of the 
pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) 
without a turn signal activated, the system, in 
addition to a visual alert, applies steering 
torque and alerts you with rapid vibrations on 
the steering wheel, to help you remain within 
the detected lane.
If the system determines that the vehicle is 
about to veer off the edge of the pavement, it 
will alert the driver with an audible warning 
instead of steering wheel vibrations.

How the System Works

Road Departure Mitigation System

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure 
Mitigation system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the Road Departure Mitigation 
system may result in a collision. It is always your 
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving 
lane.

The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you 
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in 
use. The Road Departure Mitigation system may not 
detect all lane markings or lane or roadway 
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather, 
speed and lane marker condition. It is always your 
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid 
collisions.

You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system.

u

Road Departure Mitigation System

Driving

If the system determines that its steering input is insufficient to keep your vehicle on 
the roadway, it may apply braking.

u

Braking is applied only when the lane markings are solid continuous lines.

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings.

If the system operates several times without 
detecting driver response, the system beeps to 
alert you. After that, the Road Departure 
Mitigation steering assist is temporarily 
stopped, and the warning sound is given only.

After a few minutes, the message to the left is 
displayed and the Road Departure Mitigation 
system is fully restored.
