specific road signs using

the front camera 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 recog-

nized road signs, it notifies

the driver through a visual

notification and notification

buzzer.

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 replace-

ment for a driver’s own vision and

awareness. Drive safely by

always paying careful attention to

the traffic rules.

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.274

• Conditions under which the

vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode may not function cor-

rectly:



P.274

●

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.

●

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.

266

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

●

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

●

When weather conditions are

bad enough that they may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting

correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm,

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

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
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 deter-
mined 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
vehicle 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.

Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.

Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.

If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds
or more, the system turns on in

control speed was set



When depressing the acceler-
ator pedal

When constant speed control
mode is selected, your vehicle
will maintain a set speed without
controlling the vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance. Select this mode
only when vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode does not
function correctly due to a dirty

With the cruise control off,
press and hold the cruise
control main switch for 1.5
seconds or more.

Immediately after the switch is
pressed, the dynamic radar cruise
control indicator will come on. After-
wards, it switches to the cruise con-
trol indicator.

Switching to constant speed control

mode is only possible when operat-
ing the switch with the cruise con-
trol off.

Accelerate or decelerate,
with accelerator pedal opera-
tion, to the desired vehicle
speed (at or above approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h])
and press the “-SET” switch
to set the speed.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-

tor)

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 surroundings.

●

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 func-

tion cannot judge if it is safe to

change lanes, over reliance

could lead to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury. As

the system may not function

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.

Sensor detection information

●

The sensor’s detection areas are

limited to the areas around the

vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.

●

The following situations may occur

during use.

• Depending on the shape of the

object and other factors, the

detection distance may shorten,

or detection may be impossible.

• Detection may be impossible if

static objects draw too close to the

sensor.

• There will be a short delay

between static object detection

and display (warning buzzer

sounds). Even at low speeds,

there is a possibility that the object

will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)

before the display is shown and

the warning buzzer sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the

buzzer due to the volume of the

audio system or air flow noise of

the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the

sound of this system due to the

buzzers of other systems.

■

Objects which the system may

not properly detect

The shape of the object may pre-

vent the sensor from detecting it.

Pay particular attention to the fol-

lowing objects:

●

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

●

Cotton, snow and other materials

: If equipped

RCTA (Rear Cross

Traffic Alert) function

The RCTA function uses the

BSM rear side radar sensors

installed behind the rear

bumper. This function is

intended to assist the driver

in checking areas that are

not easily visible when

backing up.

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 RCTA function is only a sup-

plementary function which alerts

the driver that a vehicle is

approaching from the right or left

at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not

function correctly under certain

conditions, the driver’s own visual

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.
Over reliance on this function may

lead to an accident resulting

death or serious injury.
