Depending on the vehicle condition and 
road conditions, the warning may not 
operate. Also, if the system determines that 
the vehicle is driving around a curve, warn-
ings will occur earlier than during 
straight-lane driving.

When the system determines that the 

driver is driving without holding the steer-

ing wheel while the steering wheel assist 

of the steering assist function is operat-

ing.

If the driver continues to keep their hands 
off of the steering wheel and the steering 
wheel assist is operating, the buzzer 
sounds and the driver is warned. Each time 
the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of 
the buzzer becomes longer.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert 
type is set to

RSA (Road Sign Assist)

*

RSA recognizes specific road signs 
using the camera sensor 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 
buzzer

*

.

*

: This setting needs to be customized.

WARNING

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.

176

4-5. Using the driving support systems

After the camera sensor 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.78)

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

P.78)

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.

: Vehicles with a 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.

Vehicles with a navigation system: 
When the RSA system recognizes a 
no-entry sign and detects that the 
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.

Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display

One or more signs automatically turn off in 

the following situations.

A new sign is not recognized for a certain 

distance.

The road changes due to a left or right 

turn, etc.

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.

The camera sensor is misaligned due to a 

strong impact being applied to the sen-

sor, etc.

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

shield near the camera sensor.

In inclement weather such as heavy rain, 

fog, snow or sand storms

Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, 

etc. enters the camera sensor.

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

if an electronic sign, the contrast is poor.

All or part of the sign is hidden by the 

leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

The sign is only visible to the camera sen-

sor for a short amount of time.

The driving scene (turning, lane change, 

etc.) is judged incorrectly.

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.

Stickers are attached to the rear of the 

preceding vehicle.

A sign resembling a system compatible 

sign is recognized.

The vehicle is driven in a country with a 

different direction of traffic.

Side road speed signs may be detected 

and displayed (if positioned in sight of the 

camera sensor) while the vehicle is 

traveling on the main road.

Roundabout exit road speed signs may 

be detected and displayed (if positioned 

in sight of the camera sensor) while 

traveling on a roundabout.

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

Before using dynamic radar cruise 

control

Driving safely is the sole responsibility of 

the driver. Do not rely solely on the sys-

tem, and drive safely by always paying 

careful attention to your surroundings.

The dynamic radar cruise control pro-

vides driving assistance to reduce the 

driver’s burden. However, there are limi-

tations to the assistance provided.

Set the speed appropriately depending 

on the speed limit, traffic flow, road con-

ditions, weather conditions, etc. The 

driver is responsible for checking the set 

speed.

Even when the system is functioning nor-

mally, the condition of the preceding 

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 acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious injury.

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.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

Assisting the driver to measure follow-

ing distance

The dynamic radar cruise control is only 

intended to help the driver in determin-

ing the following distance between the 

driver’s own vehicle and a designated 

vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mecha-

nism that allows careless or inattentive 

driving, and it is not a system that can 

assist the driver in low-visibility condi-

tions. It is still necessary for driver to pay 

close attention to the vehicle’s 

surroundings.

Assisting the driver to judge proper 

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control deter-

mines 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 vigilant and to deter-

mine whether or not there is a possibility 

of danger in any given situation.

Assisting the driver to operate the 

vehicle

The dynamic radar cruise control 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 vehicle and act appropri-

ately in order to ensure the safety of all 

involved.

To avoid inadvertent dynamic radar 

cruise control activation

Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-

trol off using the “ON/OFF” button 

when not in use.

Situations unsuitable for dynamic 

radar cruise control

Do not use dynamic radar cruise control 

in any of the following situations.

Doing so may result in inappropriate 

speed control and could cause an acci-

dent resulting in death or serious injury.

Roads where there are pedestrians, 

cyclists, etc.

In heavy traffic

On roads with sharp bends

On winding roads

On slippery roads, such as those cov-

ered with rain, ice or snow

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.

At entrances to freeways and highways

When weather conditions are bad 

enough that they may prevent the sen-

sors from detecting correctly (fog, 

snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

When there is rain, snow, etc. on the 

front surface of the radar sensor or 

camera sensor

In traffic conditions that require fre-

quent repeated acceleration and 

deceleration

During emergency towing

When an approach warning buzzer is 

heard often

181

4-5. Using the driving support systems

Driving

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following 
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 downhill slopes.

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.

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.
