Switching to low beams

Shift the lever to the low beam position.

The HBC indicator light (green) turns off.

Switching to high beams

Turn the headlight switch to the position.

The HBC indicator light (green) turns off and the is illuminated.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) (Some Models)

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Indicator Light/Display Indicator/Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep

The BSM or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system notifies the driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the BSM warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display indicator (vehicles with instrument cluster (Type A/B) and active driving display) (BSM) while the systems are operational.

BSM warning indicator lights

The BSM warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and right door mirrors. The warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.

When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light turns on momentarily and then turns off after a few seconds.

Forward driving (BSM operation)

The BSM detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the BSM warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally, while a BSM warning indicator light is illuminated, if the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the BSM warning indicator light is illuminated, the BSM warning indicator light flashes.

Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system operation)

The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects a vehicle approaching from the rear of the vehicle and flashes the BSM warning indicator lights.

Function for cancelling illumination dimmer

If the BSM warning indicator lights turn on when the parking lights are turned on, the brightness of the BSM warning indicator lights is dimmed.

If the BSM warning indicator lights are difficult to see due to glare from surrounding brightness when traveling on snow-covered roads or under foggy conditions, press the dimmer cancellation button to cancel the dimmer and increase the brightness of BSM warning indicator lights when they turn on.

Refer to Dashboard Illumination (Search), (Search), (Search).

Display indicator (Vehicles with multi-information display and active driving display)

The detected approaching vehicle and warning are displayed in the multi-information display and active driving display when the vehicle is moving forward (BSM operational).

The detected direction is displayed with a detection indicator (white) when an approaching vehicle is detected. In addition, if the turn signal lever is operated to signal a lane change while the vehicle is detected, the display changes the color (amber) of the warning indicator.

BSM warning beep

The BSM warning beep is activated simultaneously with the flashing of a BSM warning indicator light.

Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) (Some Models)

Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) (Some Models)

The TJA is a system which consists of a headway control function and a steering assist function for reducing driver fatigue during traffic jams when driving on expressways or highways.

This system performs headway control to maintain a constant distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead at a preset vehicle speed without you having to use the accelerator or brake pedal. Even further, with the steering assist function, when vehicle lane lines are detected, the function assists the driver in keeping the vehicle within the lane lines. If lane lines are not detected, the function provides the driver driving assistance in keeping the vehicle along the motion path with the vehicle ahead.

 

Do not rely completely on TJA:

  • The TJA is not an automated driving system. In addition, the functions have limitations. Do not rely completely on the system and always stay on course using the steering wheel.

  • Set a vehicle speed within the speed limit according to the road conditions and the weather conditions.

  • The TJA may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system might be unable to decelerate sufficiently if a vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly, another vehicle cuts into the driving lane, or the difference in vehicle speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is larger, which could result in an accident. Check the surrounding conditions and always drive carefully while keeping a safe distance from vehicles ahead and on-coming vehicles.

 

For the purposes of safety, switch the TJA off when it is not being used.

Leaving the TJA turned on when it is not in use is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.

 

Do not use the TJA under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.

  • General roads other than expressways or highways (Driving under these conditions using the TJA is not possible.)

  • Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy with insufficient space between vehicles, or roads where frequent and repetitive acceleration and deceleration occur (Driving under these conditions using the TJA is not possible).

  • When entering and exiting interchanges, service areas, and parking areas of expressways (If you exit an expressway while headway control is in use, the vehicle ahead will no longer be tracked and your vehicle may accelerate to the set speed).

  • Slippery roads such as icy or snow-covered roads and unpaved roads (Tires could spin causing you to lose vehicle control, or the stop hold control may not operate.)

  • Long, descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power.)

  • Two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.

  • Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahead may not be detected correctly, your vehicle may slip while stopped by the stop hold control, or it may accelerate suddenly after it starts moving.)

  • Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).

  • Tires of a different specified size are used, such as a temporary spare tire.

  • Tires with insufficient tread are used.

  • The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

  • The vehicle is being used to tow a camper or boat trailer.

  • Tire chains are used.

  • The vehicle is driven on roads with lane lines other than white (yellow) lines, such as an expressway.

 

Do not get out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating.

Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating is dangerous as the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before getting out of the vehicle, switch the TJA off, apply the parking brake, and then shift the selector lever to the P position.
