Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is designed to provide some assistance for regular braking and steering operations, as well as helping to prevent the vehicle from approaching too close to a detectable object. However, the scope of this assistance is limited.
The driver should perform brake and steering operations as necessary. Read the following items carefully. Do not overly rely on the proactive driving assist and always drive carefully.( �P. 297)
●The proactive driving assist is not a system which reduces the amount of attention necessary for safe driving. Even if the system is operating correctly, the surrounding conditions as recognized by the driver and detected by the system may differ. 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.
●Proactive driving assist is not a system which allows for inattentive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility conditions. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving safely.
