■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. Never use  
the pre-collision system in place  
of normal braking operations.  
This system cannot help avoid

■ Pre-collision warning  
When the system determines  
that the possibility of a collision  
is high, a buzzer will sound and  
an icon and warning message  
will be displayed on the multi-  
information display to urge the  
driver to take evasive action.  
If the detectable object is a vehi-  
cle, moderate braking will be  
performed with the warning.  
●Although the pre-collision sys-  
tem is designed to help avoid or  
help reduce the impact of a col-  
lision, its effectiveness may  
change according to various  
conditions. Therefore, it may not  
always be able to achieve the  
same level of performance.

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  
performed, the controlled stop will continue.

Stop System  
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.  
The emergency driving stop  
system is a system which  
automatically decelerates  
and stops the vehicle within  
its lane if the driver  
becomes unable to con-  
tinue driving the vehicle,  
such as if they have suf-  
fered a medical emergency,  
etc.  
●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  
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-

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.

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.  
■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.)  
●This system detects the condi-  
tion of the driver through the  
operation of the steering wheel.

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

canceled  
When emergency driving stop sys-  
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-  
trol may also be canceled.  
Warning phase 1  
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-

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 following situations may occur  
during use.  
■When to disable the function  
• Depending on the shape of the  
object and other factors, the  
detection distance may shorten, or  
detection may be impossible.  
• Detection may be impossible if  
static objects draw too close to the  
sensor.  
In the following situations, disable  
the function as it may operate  
even though there is no possibility  
of a collision.  
●Failing to observe the warnings  
above.  
• There will be a short delay  
between static object detection  
and display (warning buzzer  
sounds). Even at low speeds,  
there is a possibility that the object  
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)  
before the display is shown and  
the warning buzzer sounds.  
• It might be difficult to hear the  
buzzer due to the volume of the  
audio system or air flow noise of  
the air conditioning system.  
• It may be difficult to hear the  
sound of this system due to the  
buzzers of other systems.

●The Advanced Park is operating.  
In situations such as the following,  
the function may not operate cor-  
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-  
dent. Proceed carefully.  
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.  
(7 m) after the EV system is  
started.  
●The R shift position is selected.  
●When starting off shortly after  
the power switch is turned to  
ON and a small vehicle or other  
object which cannot be detected  
by a front side sensor is next to  
the vehicle.  
●After the D shift position has been  
selected, the vehicle has moved  
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.  
●Camera switch has been pressed

screen is displayed.  
In the situation shown in the fol-  
lowing illustration, even if the  
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on  
the left will not be detected and  
the object warning function will  
not operate.  
●The front or rear sensor detects a

stationary object.  
■Detection of objects along the  
sides of the vehicle  
●Objects along the sides of the  
vehicle are not instantaneously  
detected. The location of objects  
in relation to the vehicle is esti-  
mated after they are first detected  
by the front or rear side sensors,  
or side cameras. Therefore, after  
the power switch is changed to  
ON, even if an object is along the  
side of the vehicle, it may not be  
detected until the vehicle has  
been driven a small amount and  
the side sensors or side cameras  
completely scan the areas along  
the sides of the vehicle.  
●When an object or person is in a  
position which cannot be  
detected by the side sensors or  
side cameras.  
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is  
detected by a side sensors or side  
cameras, but then leaves the  
detection area of the side sensors  
or side cameras, the system will  
assume the object has not moved.  
●When, after the side sensors  
have completed scanning the  
areas along the sides of the  
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or  
other object approaches the

The RCTA function is only a sup-  
plementary function which alerts  
the driver that a vehicle is  
approaching from the right or left  
at the rear of the vehicle.  
As the RCTA function may not  
function correctly under certain  
conditions, the driver’s own visual  
confirmation of safety is neces-  
sary.  
Over reliance on this function may  
lead to an accident resulting  
death or serious injury.

The Parking Support Brake  
system consists of the fol-  
lowing functions that oper-  
ate when driving at a low  
speed or backing up, such  
as when parking. When the  
system determines that the  
probability of a collision  
with a detected object or  
pedestrian is high, a warn-  
ing operates to urge the  
driver to take evasive  
action. If the system deter-  
mines that the possibility of  
a collision with a detected  
object or pedestrian is  
extremely high, the brakes  
are automatically applied to  
help avoid the collision or  
help reduce the impact of  
the collision.  
●In some situations, such as the  
following, the rear camera detec-  
tion function may operate even  
though there are no pedestrians in  
the detection area.  
• When backing up toward the road-  
side or a bump on the road  
• When backing up toward an  
incline/decline  
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised  
or lowered due to the carried load  
• If a bumper protector, such as an  
additional trim strip, is installed to  
the rear bumper  
• If the orientation of the rear cam-  
era has been changed  
• If a towing eyelet is installed to the  
rear of the vehicle

WARNING  
■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system  
●When inspecting the vehicle  
using a chassis roller, chassis  
dynamo or free roller  
Do not overly rely on the system,  
as doing so may lead to an acci-  
dent.  
●When loading the vehicle onto a  
boat, truck or other transport  
vessel  
Always drive while checking the  
safety of the surroundings of the  
vehicle.  
●If the suspension has been  
modified or tires of a size other  
than specified are installed  
Depending on the vehicle and  
road conditions, weather, etc., the  
system may not operate.  
●If the front of the vehicle is  
raised or lowered due to the  
carried load  
The detection capabilities of sen-  
sors and radars are limited.  
Always drive while checking the  
safety of the surroundings of the  
vehicle.  
●When equipment that may  
obstruct a sensor is installed,  
such as a towing eyelet, bumper  
protector (an additional trim  
strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or  
snow plow  
●The driver is solely responsible  
for safe driving. Always drive  
carefully, taking care to observe  
your surroundings. The Parking  
Support Brake system is  
designed to provide support to  
lessen the severity of collisions.  
However, it may not operate in  
some situations.  
●When using automatic car  
washing devices  
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in  
a stable manner, such as when  
the vehicle has been in an acci-  
dent or is malfunctioning  
●The Parking Support Brake sys-  
tem is not designed to stop the  
vehicle completely. Additionally,  
even if the system has stopped  
the vehicle, it is necessary to  
depress the brake pedal imme-  
diately as brake control will be  
canceled after approximately 2  
seconds.  
●When the vehicle is driven in a  
sporty manner or off-road  
●When the tires are not properly  
inflated

sion  
Do not modify the suspension of

sors may not be able to detect  
detectable objects and the system  
may not operate correctly, possi-  
bly leading to an accident.

Static Objects Around  
the Vehicle (vehicles  
with Advanced Park)  
The detection area of the pedestri-  
ans rear of the vehicle differs from  
the detection area of the RCD func-  
tion (P.329). Therefore, even if the  
RCD function detects a pedestrian  
and provides an alert, the pedestri-  
ans rear of the vehicle may not start  
operating.  
While parking, if a sensor  
detects a surrounding sta-  
tionary object, such as a

objects may not be detected by the  
sensors in the following situations  
●After the EV system has been  
started, the vehicle has moved  
approximately 23.0 ft. (7 m) or  
less  
●The R shift position is selected

●After the shift position has been  
changed from R to D, the vehicle  
has moved approximately 23.0 ft.

■Detection of objects along the  
sides of the vehicle  
●Objects along the sides of the  
vehicle are not instantaneously  
detected. The location of objects  
in relation to the vehicle is esti-  
mated after they are first detected  
by the front or rear side sensors,  
or side cameras. Therefore, after  
the power switch is changed to  
ON, even if an object is along the  
side of the vehicle, it may not be  
detected until the vehicle has  
been driven a small amount and  
the side sensors or side cameras  
completely scan the areas along  
the sides of the vehicle.

: If equipped  
Purpose of the Advanced  
Park  
The Advanced Park is a system  
which assists in safely and  
smoothly parking in a target  
parking space by displaying the  
blind spots around the vehicle  
and the parking spot through a  
bird’s eye view, delivering oper-  
ation guidance through displays  
and buzzer operation, and  
changing the shift position,  
operating the steering wheel,  
accelerator pedal, and brake  
pedal.  
Additionally, the panoramic view  
monitor can display the area in  
front, behind, and from above  
the vehicle, helping confirm the  
condition of the area around the  
vehicle.  
For details on the panoramic  
view monitor refer to “MULTIME-  
DIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.  
Depending on the condition of  
the road surface or the vehicle,
