Emergency Driving

Stop System

The emergency driving stop
system is a system which
automatically decelerates
and stops the vehicle within
its lane if the driver
becomes unable to continue
driving the vehicle, such as
if they have suffered a medi-
cal emergency, etc.

During LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) control, if the sys-
tem does not detect driving
operations, such as if the
driver is not holding the
steering wheel, and deter-
mines the driver is not
responsive, the vehicle will
be decelerated and stopped
within its current lane to
help avoid a collision or
reduce the impact of a colli-
sion.

WARNING

■

For safe use

●

Driving safely is solely the

responsibility of the driver. Pay

careful attention to the sur-

rounding conditions in order to

ensure safe driving. The emer-

gency driving stop system is

designed to provide support in

an emergency where it is diffi-

cult for the driver to continue

driving, such as if they have had

a medical emergency. It is not

designed to support driving

while drowsy or in poor physical

health, or inattentive driving.

●

Although the emergency driv-

ing stop system is designed to

decelerate the vehicle within its

lane to help avoid or help

reduce the impact of a collision

if the system determines that it

is difficult for the driver to con-

tinue driving, its effectiveness

may change according to vari-

ous conditions. Therefore, it

may not always be able to

achieve the same level of per-

formance. Also, if the operating

conditions are not met, this

function will not operate.

●

After the emergency driving

stop system operates, if driving

becomes possible again, imme-

diately begin driving again or, if

necessary, park the vehicle on

the shoulder of the road and set

a warning reflector and flare to

warn other drivers of your

stopped vehicle.

●

After this system operates, pas-

sengers should attend to the

driver as necessary and take

appropriate hazard prevention

measures, such as moving to a

place where safety can be

ensured, such as the shoulder

of the road or behind a guard-

rail.

●

This system detects the condi-

tion of the driver through the

operation of the steering wheel.

This system may operate if the

driver is aware but intentionally

and continuously does not oper-

ate the vehicle. Also, the system

may not operate if it cannot

determine that the driver is not

responsive, such as if they are

leaning on the steering wheel.

Summary of the system

231

4-5. Using the driving support systems

ing

Through control state “warning
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”,
the system determines if the
driver is aware and responsive
while outputting a warning and
controlling the vehicle speed. If
the system determines the
driver is not responsive, it will
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold
phase” and decelerate and stop
the vehicle. It will then operate
continuously in “stop hold
phase”.

■

Operating conditions

This system operates when all of

the following conditions are met:

●

When the LTA is on

●

When the vehicle speed is

approximately 30 mph (50 km/h)

or more

■

Operation cancelation condi-

tions

In the following situations, system

operation will be canceled:

●

When LTA control has been can-

celed (the LTA switch has been

pressed, etc.)

●

When the dynamic radar cruise

control has been canceled

●

When driver operations are

detected (the steering wheel is

held, the brake pedal, accelerator

pedal, parking brake, hazard light

switch, or turn signal lever is oper-

ated)

●

When the driving assist switch is

pressed while in the stop and hold

phase

●

When the engine switch has been

turned from ON to off

●

Situations in which some or all of

the functions of the system cannot

operate:

P.189

■

LTA control when operation is

canceled

When emergency driving stop sys-

tem operation is canceled, LTA con-

trol may also be canceled.

If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the system will judge if the driver
is responsive or not. If driving
operations, such as holding the
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter
warning phase 2.

After entering warning phase 2,
a buzzer will sound in short
intervals and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such
as holding the steering wheel,
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is
not responsive and enter the
deceleration stop phase.

The audio system will be muted
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.

After entering the deceleration
stop phase, a buzzer will sound
continuously and a message will
be displayed to warn the driver,
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle
stops, the system will enter the
stop and hold phase.

After the vehicle is stopped, the
parking brake will be applied
automatically. After entering the
stop and hold phase, the buzzer
will continue sounding continu-
ously, the emergency flashers
(hazard lights) will flash to warn
other drivers of the emergency.

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, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

●

The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-

plementary 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 func-

tion cannot judge if it is safe to

change lanes, over reliance

could lead to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury. As

the system may not function

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.

Safe Exit Assist

The safe exit assist is a sys-
tem that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may col-
lide with a door when open-
ing it or cancel opening of
the door, to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

●

The safe exit assist is a supple-

mentary system that, when the

vehicle is stopped, informs

occupants of the existence of

approaching vehicles and bicy-

cles. As this system alone can-

not be used to judge safety,

over-reliance on this system

may lead to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury.

In certain situations, this system

may not function to its fullest

extent. Therefore it is necessary

for the occupants to visually

check for safety directly and using

the mirrors.
