Situations in which the system may not 

operate properly

O

In some situations such as the following, a 

vehicle may not be detected by the radar 

sensor and front camera, preventing the 

system from operating properly:

• If an oncoming vehicle is approaching 

your vehicle

• If a vehicle ahead is a motorcycle or bicy-

cle

• When approaching the side or front of a 

vehicle

• If a preceding vehicle has a small rear 

end, such as an unloaded truck

• If a preceding vehicle has a low rear end, 

such as a low bed trailer

• If a vehicle ahead is carrying a load which 

protrudes past its rear bumper

• If a vehicle ahead has extremely high 

ground clearance

• If a vehicle ahead is irregularly shaped, 

such as a tractor or side car

RSA (Road Sign Assist)

*

RSA recognizes specific road signs 
using the front camera 

 and pro-

vides information to the driver via 
the multi-information display.

If the system judges that the vehicle 
is being driven over the speed limit, 
performing prohibited actions, etc. 
in relation to the recognized road 
signs, it alerts the driver using a 
warning display and warning

WARNING

Q

Before using the RSA

Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. 

RSA is a system which supports the 

driver by providing information, but it is 

not a replacement for a driver’s own 

vision and awareness. Drive safely by 

always paying careful attention to the 

traffic rules.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could 

lead to an unexpected accident.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

After the front camera recognizes a 
sign, it is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display when the vehicle passes 
the sign.

When the driving assist system 
information is selected, a maximum 
of 3 signs can be displayed. 
(

P.106)

When other than the driving assist 
system information is selected, a 
speed limit sign or an all canceled 
sign can be displayed. (

P.106)

A no overtaking sign and a speed limit sign 
with supplemental mark are not displayed. 
However, if signs other than speed limit 
signs are recognized, they are mentioned 
in a stack under the current speed limit 
sign.

The following types of road signs, including electronic signs and blinking signs, are 
recognized.

A non-official (not meeting the Vienna Convention) or a recently introduced traffic sign 
may not be recognized.

: For vehicles with navigation system

In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem alerts the driver using a warning 
display.

When the vehicle speed exceeds 
the speed warning threshold 
applied to the speed limit of the sign 
displayed on the multi-information 

display, the sign color becomes 
inverted.

If it is detected that your vehicle is 
overtaking when a no overtaking 
sign is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, the sign flashes.

vehicle has entered a no-entry area 
based on the map information of the 
navigation system, the no-entry sign 
flashes.

Depending on the situation, traffic 
environment (traffic direction, speed, 
unit) may be detected incorrectly and a 
warning display may not operate prop-
erly.

Q

Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display

One or more signs automatically turn off in 

the following situations.

O

A new sign is not recognized for a certain 

distance.

O

The road changes due to a left or right 

turn, etc.

Q

Conditions in which the function may 

not operate or detect correctly

In the following situations, RSA does not 

operate normally and may not recognize 

signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. How-

ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.

O

The front camera is misaligned due to a 

strong impact being applied to the sen-

sor, etc.

O

Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the wind-

shield near the front camera.

O

In inclement weather such as heavy rain, 

fog, snow or sand storms

O

Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, 

etc. enters the front camera.

O

The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and 

if an electronic sign, the contrast is poor.

O

All or part of the sign is hidden by the 

leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

O

The sign is only visible to the front camera 

for a short amount of time.

O

The driving scene (turning, lane change, 

etc.) is judged incorrectly.

O

Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the 

currently traveled lane, such a sign exists 

directly after a freeway branches, or in an 

adjacent lane just before merging.

O

Stickers are attached to the rear of the 

preceding vehicle.

O

A sign resembling a system compatible 

sign is recognized.

O

The vehicle is driven in a country with a 

different direction of traffic.

O

Side road speed signs may be detected 

and displayed (if positioned in sight of the 

front camera) while the vehicle is travel-

ing on the main road.

O

Roundabout exit road speed signs may 

be detected and displayed (if positioned 

in sight of the front camera) while travel-

ing on a roundabout.

O

Vehicles without navigation system: The 

speed information displayed on the 

meter and that displayed on the naviga-

tion system may be different due to the 

navigation system using map data.

Q

When driving vehicle in country with dif-

ferent speed unit

Since RSA recognizes signs based on the 

set unit of the meter, it is necessary to 

change the set unit of the meter. Adjust the 

set unit of the meter to the speed unit of 

signs in the current location. (

WARNING

Q

Before using dynamic radar cruise 

control with full-speed range

O

Driving safely is the sole responsibility 

of the driver. Do not rely solely on the 

system, and drive safely by always pay-

ing careful attention to your surround-

ings. 

O

The dynamic radar cruise control with 

full-speed range provides driving 

assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-

den. However, there are limitations to 

the assistance provided. 

Read the following conditions care-

fully. Do not overly rely on this system 

and always drive carefully.

• When the sensor may not be correctly 

detecting the vehicle ahead: 

P.288

• Conditions under which the vehicle-

to-vehicle distance control mode may 

not function correctly: 

P.288

A
B

D

E

O

Set the speed appropriately depend-

ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road 

conditions, weather conditions, etc. 

The driver is responsible for checking 

the set speed.

O

Even when the system is functioning 

normally, the condition of the preced-

ing vehicle as detected by the system 

may differ from the condition 

observed by the driver. Therefore, the 

driver must always remain alert, assess 

the danger of each situation and drive 

safely. Relying on this system or assum-

ing the system ensures safety while 

driving can lead to an accident, result-

ing in death or serious injury.

O

Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range off using the 

cruise control main switch when not in 

use.

Q

Cautions regarding the driving assist 

systems

Observe the following precautions, as 

there are limitations to the assistance 

provided by the system.

Failure to do so may cause an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

O

Assisting the driver to measure follow-

ing distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range is only intended to help 
the driver in determining the following 
distance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows 
careless or inattentive driving, and it is 
not a system that can assist the driver in 
low-visibility conditions. It is still neces-
sary for driver to pay close attention to 
the vehicle’s surroundings.
