Hands off steering wheel warning

●

When  the  system  determines  that  the  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the
steering wheel while the system is operating
If  the  driver  continues  to  keep  their  hands  off  of  the  steering  wheel,  the
buzzer  sounds,  the  driver  is  warned  and  the  function  is  temporarily  can-
celed. This warning also operates in the same way when the driver continu-
ously operates the steering wheel only a small amount.

●

When  the  system  determines  that  the  vehicle  may  deviate  from  the  lane
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating.
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, warnings will occur earlier than during straight-lane driving.

●

When  the  system  determines  that  the  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist function
is operating.
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.

In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion  display  to  warn  the  driver.  The
warning  stops  when  the  system  deter-
mines  that  the  driver  holds  the  steering
wheel.  Always  keep  your  hands  on  the
steering  wheel  when  using  this  system,
regardless of warnings.

RSA (Road Sign Assist)



The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific  road  signs  using  the  front
camera  and/or  navigation  system
(when  speed  limit  information  is
available)  to  provide  information
to the driver via the display.

If the system  judges that  the  vehicle  is being  driven  over the  speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc., according to the recognized
road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notification and notifi-
cation buzzer.

WARNING

■

Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range

●

Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings. 

●

The  dynamic  radar  cruise  control  with  full-speed  range  provides  driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided. 
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead:



P. 423

• Conditions  under  which  the  vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  control  mode

may not function correctly: 



P. 424

●

Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.

●

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 solely on this
system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off,
using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.

WARNING

■

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.

●

Assisting the driver to measure following 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 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  conditions.  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  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 neces-
sary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine 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  with  full-speed  range  does  not  include
functions which will prevent or avoid collisions with vehicles ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any possibility of danger, the driver must
take immediate and  direct control of the  vehicle and act appropriately  in
order to ensure the safety of all involved.
