4-5. Using the driving support systems

CAMRY_U

When you turn right/left,

pedestrian is detected in the

forward direction and esti-

mated to enter your vehicle’s

path (bicyclists are not

detected.)

WARNING

Limitations of the pre-collision system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings. 

Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations

under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen

collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this sys-

tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious

injury.

Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce

the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to vari-

ous conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve

the same level of performance. 

Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system

and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-

sibility of a collision: 

P. 264

• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: 

P. 266

Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself.

Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard objects

imitating detectable objects, etc.), the system may not operate properly,

possibly leading to an accident.

WARNING

Pre-collision braking

When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of

braking force will be applied.

If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking func-

tion, the pre-collision braking function operation will be canceled after

approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.

The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are

performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine

that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-colli-

sion braking function from operating.

In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,

operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is

depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking evasive action.

If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of

the pre-collision braking function.

Emergency steering assist

As emergency steering assist operation will be canceled when the system

determines that lane departure prevention function has been completed.

Emergency steering assist may not operate or may be cancel in the follow-

ing cases as the system may determine the driver is taking actions.
• If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the steering wheel

is being operated sharply, the brake pedal is being depressed or the

turn signal lever is being operated. In this case, the system may deter-

mine that the driver is taking evasive action and the emergency steering

assist may not operate.

• In some situations, while the emergency steering assist is operating,

operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is

depressed strongly, the steering wheel is operated sharply or the brake

pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the driver is

taking evasive action.

• When the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steering wheel

is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which the

system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.

WARNING

When to disable the pre-collision system

In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-

erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

When the vehicle is being towed

When your vehicle is towing another vehicle

When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of

transportation

When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires

are allowed to rotate freely

When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-

mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to

an accident or other reasons

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-

cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road

When the tires are not properly inflated

When the tires are very worn

When tires of a size other than specified are installed

When tire chains are installed

When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

Summary of functions

WARNING

Before using LTA system

Do not rely solely upon the LTA system. The LTA system does not auto-

matically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be

paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full

responsibility for driving safely by paying careful attention to the surround-

ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the

vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such

as from driving for a long period of time.

Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention

may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
