4-5. Using the driving support systems

ing

In situations where the vehicle
approaches a preceding vehicle
and the system cannot provide
sufficient deceleration, such as
if a vehicle cuts in front of the
vehicle, a warning display will
flash and a buzzer will sound to
alert the driver. Depress the
brake pedal to ensure appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

■

Warnings may not occur
when

In the following situations, the
warning may not operate even
though the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is short.



When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at the same speed
or faster than your vehicle



When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely low
speed



Immediately after the vehicle
speed has been set



When the accelerator pedal is
depressed

When a curve is detected, the
vehicle speed will begin being
reduced. When the curve ends,
the vehicle speed reduction will
end.

Depending on the situation, the

vehicle speed will then return to the
set vehicle speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control needs to oper-
ate, such as when a preceding
vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle,
the curve speed reduction function
will be canceled.

■

Situations in which the curve

speed reduction function may

not operate

In situations such as the following,

the curve speed reduction function

may not operate:

●

When the vehicle is being driven

around a gentle curve

●

When the accelerator pedal is

being depressed

●

When the vehicle is being driven

around an extremely short curve

If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h)
or more and a lane change to
the passing lane is performed,
when the turn signal lever is
operated and the lane is
changed, the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the set speed to
assist in overtaking.

lane is the passing lane may be
based solely on the location of the
steering wheel in the vehicle
(left-hand drive/right-hand drive). If
the vehicle is driven in a location
where the passing lane is on the
opposite side of that where the
vehicle was originally sold, the
vehicle may accelerate when the
turn signal lever is operated away
from the passing lane. (e.g. The
vehicle was manufactured for a
right-hand traffic location, but is
being driven in a left-hand traffic
location. The vehicle may acceler-
ate when the turn signal lever is
operated to the right.)
If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or
more and the lane is changed to
that with a vehicle traveling slower
than your vehicle, when the turn
signal lever is operated the vehicle
will gradually decelerate to assist in
changing lanes.

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

248

4-5. Using the driving support systems

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 power switch has been

turned from ON to off

■

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.

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.
