6-2. Using the safe driving support functions
WARNING
For safe use
■
●
Driving safely is solely the responsibil-
ity 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 Traffic Jam Assist function is not an
automated driving system.
This function provides the driver with
information and driving assistance
according to the road shape and con-
ditions, traffic conditions, and the con-
dition of the driver themself. Always
pay careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions as use of the system is
the responsibility of the driver.
●
Depending on the condition of the sur-
rounding area, the road, or the driver,
the Traffic Jam Assist function may not
operate or operation may be sus-
pended. Also, it may not always be
able to achieve the same level of per-
formance. Read the operating condi-
tions of the function carefully. Do not
overly rely on this function and always
drive carefully.
As the recognition performance and
●
control performance of the Traffic Jam
Assist function are limited, driver oper-
ation is necessary to ensure safety
while the system is operating. Also, the
steering assist of this system is
designed to operate only for slow
steering operations during a traffic
jam. While this function is operating,
the lane deviation control function of
the LDA will not operate. If, for some
reason, the vehicle is about to deviate
the lane, it is the driver's responsibility
to drive properly.
●
Even if Traffic Jam Assist is operating
properly, the surrounding conditions
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.
While the Traffic Jam Assist function is
●
operating, as driver operation may
become necessary, the driver must
ensure they have clear visibility of their
surroundings.
In certain situations, a message urging
●
the driver to hold the steering wheel
may be displayed by the Traffic Jam
Assist function. In this case, hold the
steering wheel and drive the vehicle
manually to ensure safety.
●
The Traffic Jam Assist function cannot
detect the following objects. Operate
the steering wheel, accelerator pedal,
or brake pedal as necessary to avoid a
collision. As the function will not be
able to provide appropriate control,
using it may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
• Objects on the road surface
• Vehicles outside of a lane (such as on
the shoulder of the road)
• Potholes, cracks, ruts, or other road
damage
• Road construction zones
• Vehicles running in parallel with your
vehicle or nearby walls
• Animals
