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.

●

Do not rely solely upon the

RSA. The RSA assists the

driver by providing road sign

information, but it is not a

replacement for the driver’s own

vision and awareness. Driving

safely is solely the responsibility

of the driver. Pay careful atten-

tion to the surrounding condi-

tions in order to ensure safe

driving.

■

For safe use

●

Driving safely is solely the

responsibility of the driver. Do

not overly rely on this system,

and pay careful attention to the

surrounding conditions in order

to ensure safe driving.

●

The dynamic radar cruise con-

trol provides driving assistance

to reduce the driver’s burden.

However, there are limitations to

the assistance provided.

Read the following items carefully.

WARNING

●

Set the speed appropriately

according to the speed limit,

traffic flow, road conditions,

weather conditions, etc. The

driver is responsible for confirm-

ing the set speed.

●

Even if the system is operating

correctly, the condition of a pre-

ceding vehicle as recognized by

the driver and detected by the

system may differ. Therefore, it

is necessary for the driver to

pay attention, assess risks, and

ensure safety. Over-reliance on

this system to drive the vehicle

safely may lead to an accident

resulting in death or serious

injury.

■

Precautions for the driving

assist systems

Observe the following precau-

tions, as there are limitations to

the assistance provided by the

system. Over-reliance on this sys-

tem may lead to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Details of support provided for

the driver’s vision

The dynamic radar cruise control

is only intended to help the driver

in determining the distance

between the driver’s own vehicle

and a designated preceding vehi-

cle. It is not a system which allows

for careless or inattentive driving,

and is not a system which assists

in poor visibility conditions.
The driver must pay attention to

their surroundings, even when the

vehicle stops.

●

Details of support provided for

the driver’s judgement

The dynamic radar cruise control

determines whether the distance

between the driver’s own vehicle

and a designated preceding vehi-

cle 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 vigilant and to

determine whether or not there is

a possibility of danger.

●

Details of support provided for

the driver’s operation

The dynamic radar cruise control

does not include functions which

will prevent or avoid collisions

with vehicles ahead of your vehi-

cle. Therefore, if there is ever any

possibility of danger, the driver

must take immediate and direct

control of the vehicle and act

appropriately in order to ensure

safety.

■

Situations in which the

dynamic radar cruise control

should not be used

Do not use the dynamic radar

cruise control in the following situ-

ations. As the system will not be

able to provide appropriate con-

trol, using it may lead to an acci-

dent resulting in death or serious

injury.

Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.

If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill, the set vehicle
speed display will blink and a buzzer will sound.

Deceleration and follow-up cruising:
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle
speed is detected

When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the vehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle speed is neces-
sary, the brakes are applied (the stop lights will come on at this time). The
vehicle is controlled to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the preceding vehicle. If
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle
ahead, the approach warning will sound.

Acceleration:
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set vehicle speed

The vehicle accelerates until the set vehicle speed is reached and then
resumes constant speed cruising.

Starting off:
If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (controlled
stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES”
switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-up
cruising (start off operation). If a start off operation is not per-

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-

ensure safe driving. The emer-

gency driving stop system is

designed to provide support in

an emergency where it is diffi-

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.

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

245

4-5. Using the driving support systems

Dr

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 “Decel-
eration 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

●

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.

When the vehicle is decelerating,

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 and the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to
warn other drivers of the emer-
gency.

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.
