WARNING

Emergency steering assist

The emergency steering assist will be canceled when the system determines that lane
departure prevention control has completed.

Depending on operations performed by the driver, emergency steering assist may not
operate or operation may be canceled.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering wheel is turned heavily,
the brake pedal is depressed, or the turn signal lever is operated, the system may
determine that the driver is taking evasive action and the emergency steering assist
may not operate.

While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly, the steering wheel is turned heavily, or the brake pedal is
depressed, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and
emergency steering assist operation may be canceled.

While the emergency steering assist is operating, if the steering wheel is held or
turned in the opposite direction of system operation, emergency steering assist
operation will be canceled.

Lane Tracing Assist

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)

LTA functions

When driving on a road with clear lane lines
with the dynamic radar cruise control operat-
ing, lane lines and preceding and surrounding
vehicles are detected using the front camera
and radar sensor, and the steering wheel is op-
erated to maintain the vehicle’s lane position.

Use the this function only on highways and ex-
pressways.
If the dynamic radar cruise control is not operating,
the function will not operate.
In situations where the lane lines are difficult to see
or are not visible, such as when in a traffic jam, sup-
port will be provided using the path of preceding
and surrounding vehicles.
If the system determines that the steering wheel has not been operated for a certain
amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firmly gripped, the driver will be
alerted via a display and this function will be temporarily canceled.
If the steering wheel is firmly gripped, the function will begin operating again.

When the function is operating, if the vehicle is
likely to depart from its lane, the driver will be
alerted via a display and buzzer.

When the buzzer sounds, check the area around
the vehicle and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.

WARNING

Before using the LTA system

Do not overly rely on the LTA system. The LTA system is a system which provides
automated assistance in driving. However, as it is not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary for safe driving. The driver is solely responsible for
paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering wheel as necessary
to ensure safety. Also, the driver is responsible for taking adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as when driving for a long time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead
to an accident.

When not using the LTA system, turn it off using the LTA switch.

INFORMATION

Operating conditions of function

This function is operable when all of the following conditions are met:

The LTA system detects lane lines or the path of preceding or surrounding vehicles
(except when the preceding vehicle is small, such as a motorcycle).

The dynamic radar cruise control is operating.

The lane width is approximately 10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m).

The turn signal lever is not being operated.

The vehicle is not being driven around a sharp curve.

The vehicle is not accelerating or decelerating more than a certain amount.

The steering wheel is not being turned with a large force.

The hands off steering wheel warning

(

P.378)

is not operating.

The vehicle is being driven in the center of a lane.

Temporary cancelation of functions

When the operating conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporarily
canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation of the
function will automatically be restored.

(

P.377)

If the operating conditions of a function are no longer met while the function is
operating, a buzzer may sound to indicate that the function has been temporarily
canceled.

The steering assist operation of the function can be overridden by the steering wheel
operation of the driver.

Lane departure warning function when the LTA is operating

Even if the LDA warning method is changed to vibration of the steering wheel, if the
vehicle deviates from the lane while the LTA is operating, the warning buzzer will
sound to alert the driver.

If steering wheel operation equivalent to that necessary for a lane change is detected,
the system will determine the vehicle is not deviating from the lane and the warning will
not operate.

Hands off steering wheel warning operation

In the following situations, a message urging the driv-
er to grip the steering wheel and the icon shown in
the illustration will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display to warn the driver. If the system detects
that the steering wheel is held, the warning will be
canceled. When using the system, make sure to grip
the steering wheel firmly, regardless of whether the
warning is operating or not.

When the system determines the driver is not holding the steering wheel while the
function is operating
If no operations are detected for a certain amount of time, a buzzer will sound, the
warning will operate, and the function will be temporarily canceled. This warning may
also operate if the driver only operates steering wheel a small amount continuously.

Depending on the condition of the vehicle, handle control condition and road surface,
the warning function may not operate.
Vehicles with LCA:In the following situations, the system may not be able to detect
when the driver’s hands are off the steering wheel.

When a steering wheel cover is installed

When the driver is wearing gloves

When foreign matter is attached to the steering wheel

When the driver is gripping the wood trim, seam of the leather, spokes, or other
part of the steering wheel that does not have sensors

Vehicles with LCA: In the following situations, the hands off steering wheel warning
may not operate and the LTA function may continue operating even though the
driver’s hands are off the steering wheel:

When something other than a hand is contacting the steering wheel

When a wide object or arms are held across the steering wheel

Lane Change Assist

*

LCA (Lane Change Assist)

LCA functions

This function is linked to the LTA and provides assistance in performing lane
changes through steering wheel operations when the turn signal lever is held
partway

When not using the LCA system, turn it off using the LCA switch.
Use the this function only on highways and expressways.
The steering assist operation can be overridden by the steering wheel operation of the
driver.
The lane change assist function is not designed to operate when changing lanes at a
junction.

WARNING

Before using the LCA system

Do not overly rely on the LCA system.
The LCA system is a system which provides automated assistance in driving. However,
as it is not a system which reduces the need for checking an adjacent lane for
other vehicles, approaching vehicles, etc. when changing lanes. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure safety.
Also, do not use the LCA to change lanes into which a lane change should not be
performed (oncoming lanes, road shoulders, etc.).

Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead
to an accident.

INFORMATION

Operating conditions of function

This function is operable when all of the following conditions are met:

The LTA is operating.

The lane change assist function is enabled by a customize setting.

The vehicle speed is between approximately 55 and 85 mph (90 and 140 km/h).
