When the RSA system recog-
nizes a do not enter sign and 
determines that your vehicle 
has entered a no-entry area, 
the displayed sign will flash 
and a buzzer will sound.

Depending on the situation, a 
notification function may not 
operate properly.

Setting procedure

Automatic turn-off of RSA sign 

display

In the following situations, a dis-

played speed limit sign and/or do 

not enter sign will stop being dis-

played automatically:

No sign has been recognized for a 

certain distance.

The road changes due to a left or 

right turn, etc.

In the following situations, stop and 

yield signs will stop being displayed 

automatically:

The system determines that your 

vehicle has passed the sign.

The road changes due to a left or 

right turn, etc.

Conditions in which the func-

tion 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. However, this 

does not indicate a malfunction.

The front camera is misaligned 

due to a strong impact being 

applied to the sensor, etc.

Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on 

the windshield near the front cam-

era.

In inclement weather such as 

heavy rain, fog, snow or sand 

storms

Light from an oncoming vehicle, 

the sun, etc., enters the front cam-

era.

The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or 

bent.

The contrast of electronic sign is 

low.

All or part of the sign is hidden by 

the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

The sign is only visible to the front 

camera for a short amount of time.

The driving scene (turning, lane 

change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.

If a sign not appropriate for the 

currently traveled lane, but the 

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 com-

patible sign is recognized.

Side road speed signs may be 

detected and displayed (if posi-

tioned in sight of the front camera) 

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 front 

camera) while traveling on a 

roundabout.

The front of the vehicle is raised or 

lowered due to the carried load.

The surrounding brightness is not 

sufficient or changes suddenly.

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 pay-

ing careful attention to your sur-

roundings.

The dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range pro-

vides 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.255

• Conditions under which the 

vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode may not function cor-

rectly: 

P.255

Set the speed appropriately 

depending on the speed limit, 

traffic flow, road conditions, 

weather conditions, etc. The 

driver is responsible for check-

ing the set speed.

Even when the system is func-

tioning normally, the condition of 

the preceding vehicle as 

detected by the system may dif-

fer from the condition observed 

by the driver. Therefore, the 

driver must always remain alert, 

assess the danger of each situ-

ation and drive safely. Relying 

solely on this system or assum-

ing 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 cruise 

control main switch when not in 

use.

Cautions regarding the driv-

ing assist systems

Observe the following precau-

tions, 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.

246

5-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

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 mechanism that 
allows careless or inattentive driv-
ing, 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 vehi-
cle’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 necessary 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 pre-
vent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles 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.

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 following situations. 

Doing so may result in inappropri-

ate speed control and could 

cause an accident resulting in 

death or serious injury.

Roads where there are pedes-

trians, cyclists, etc.

In heavy traffic

On roads with sharp bends

On winding roads

On slippery roads, such as 

those covered 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

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to 
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance switch.

When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may 
become shorter.

Example of constant speed cruising

WARNING

When weather conditions are 

bad enough that they may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting 

correctly (fog, snow, sand-

storm, heavy rain, etc.)

When there is rain, snow, etc., 

on the front surface of the radar 

or front camera

In traffic conditions that require 

frequent repeated acceleration 

and deceleration

During emergency towing

When an approach warning 

buzzer is heard often

Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

248

5-5. Using the driving support systems

When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

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 nec-
essary, 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 suffi-
ciently 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 system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the 
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will 
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not performed, system 
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accel-
erate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined 
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side 
driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a 
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from where the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal lever 
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver 
normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the 
right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the left, the 
vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).

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.

The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of 

the system

The driver is solely responsible for 

safe driving. Always drive safely, 

taking care to observe your sur-

roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-

plementary function which alerts 

the driver that a vehicle is in a 

blind spot of the outside rear view 

mirrors or is approaching rapidly 

from behind into a blind spot. Do 

not overly rely on the Blind Spot 

Monitor. As the function cannot 

judge if it is safe to change lanes, 

over reliance could lead to an 

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.
As the system may not function 

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual con-

firmation of safety is necessary.

When a vehicle is detected in a 
blind spot of the outside rear view 
mirrors or approaching rapidly from 
behind into a blind spot, the outside 
rear view mirror indicator on the

should return to normal operation 

after removing the ice, snow, mud, 

etc., from the rear bumper. Addition-

ally, the sensors may not operate 

normally when driving in extremely 

hot or cold environments.
