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.

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.93)

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

P.93)

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.

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.

WARNING

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 

assuming the system ensures safety 

while driving can lead to an accident, 

resulting 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.

O

Assisting the driver to judge proper 

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range determines whether the 
following distance between the driver’s 
own vehicle and a designated vehicle 
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is 
not capable of making any other type of 
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely 
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not 
there is a possibility of danger in any 
given situation.

O

Assisting the driver to operate the 

vehicle

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range has limited capability to 
prevent or avoid a collision with a vehicle 
traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is 
ever any danger, the driver must take 
immediate and direct control of the vehi-
cle and act appropriately in order to 
ensure the safety of all involved.

Q

Situations unsuitable for dynamic 

radar cruise control with full-speed 

range

Do not use dynamic radar cruise control 

with full-speed range in any of the follow-

ing situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate 

speed control and could cause an acci-

dent resulting in death or serious injury.

O

Roads where there are pedestrians, 

cyclists, etc.

O

In heavy traffic

O

On roads with sharp bends

distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle 
ahead.

Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.

WARNING

O

On steep downhills, or where there 

are sudden changes between sharp up 

and down gradients 

Vehicle speed may exceed the set 

speed when driving down a steep hill.

O

At entrances to freeways and high-

ways

O

When weather conditions are bad 

enough that they may prevent the sen-

sors from detecting correctly (fog, 

snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

O

When there is rain, snow, etc. on the 

front surface of the radar sensor or 

front camera

O

In traffic conditions that require fre-

quent repeated acceleration and 

deceleration

O

During emergency towing

O

When an approach warning buzzer is 

heard often

Example of constant speed cruising 
When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance 
can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.

Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising 
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates 
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies 
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in 
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by 
the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to 
prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing 
the accelerator pedal will resume follow-up cruising.

Example of acceleration 
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set 
speed

The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to constant 
speed cruising.

Accelerate or decelerate, with 
accelerator pedal operation, to the 
desired vehicle speed (at or above 
approximately 50 km/h [30 mph]) 
and press the “-SET” switch to set 
the speed.

Cruise control “SET” indicator will come 

on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the 

switch is released becomes the set speed.
If the switch is operated while the vehicle 

speed is below approximately 50 km/h 

(30 mph) and a preceding vehicle is pres-

ent, the set speed will be adjusted to 

approximately 50 km/h (30 mph).

To change the set speed, operate the 

“+RES” or “-SET” switch until the 
desired set speed is displayed.

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is set auto-
matically to long mode when the engine 
switch is turned to ON.
If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the pre-
ceding vehicle mark 

 will also be dis-

played.

Select a distance from the table below. 
Note that the distances shown corre-
spond to a vehicle speed of 80 km/h 
(50 mph). Vehicle-to-vehicle distance 
increases/decreases in accordance 
with vehicle speed. When the vehicle is 
stopped by system control, the vehicle 
stops at a certain vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance depending on the situation.

After the vehicle ahead of you starts 
off, press the “+RES” switch.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-
up cruising if the accelerator pedal is 
depressed after the vehicle ahead of 
you starts off.

Pressing the cancel switch cancels 
the speed control.

The speed control is also canceled when 
the brake pedal is depressed. 
(When the vehicle has been stopped by 
system control, depressing the brake pedal 
does not cancel the setting.)

2

Pressing the “+RES” switch 
resumes the cruise control and 
returns vehicle speed to the set 
speed.

However, when a vehicle ahead is not 
detected, cruise control does not resume 
when the vehicle speed is approximately 
40 km/h (25 mph) or less.

When your vehicle is too close to a 
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic 
deceleration via the cruise control is 
not possible, the display will flash and 
the buzzer will sound to alert the 
driver. An example of this would be if 
another driver cuts in front of you while 
you are following a vehicle. Depress 
the brake pedal to ensure an appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

Q

Warnings may not occur when

In the following instances, warnings 
may not occur even when the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is small.

When the speed of the preceding 
vehicle matches or exceeds your
