■Hands off steering wheel alert
For Israel: When the system determines that the driver has removed the hands from the steering wheel while the steering assist function or lane centering function is operating, a
warning message is displayed on the multi- information display and the buzzer sounds.
Except for Israel: When the system determines that the driver has removed the hands from the steering wheel while the steering assist function or lane centering function is
operating, a warning message is displa yed on the multi-information display. If the driver continues to keep the hands off of the steering wheel, the buzzer sounds, awarning message is displayed and the function is temporarily canceled. This alert also
operates in the same way when the vehicle is driven with the steering wheel lightly gripped. However, depending on the road conditions, etc., the function may not cancel.
■White (yellow) lines are on ly on one side of road
The LKA system will not operate for the side on which white (yellow) lines could not be recognized.
■Conditions in which functi ons may not operate properly
In the following situations, the camera sensor may not detect white (yellow) lines and var- ious functions may not operate normally.
●There are shadows on the road that run paralle l with, or cover, the white (yellow) lines.
●The vehicle is driven in an area without white (yellow) lines, such as in front of a tollgate or checkpoint, or at an intersection, etc.
●The white (yellow) lines are cracked, “Raised pavement marker” or stones are present.
●The white (yellow) lines cannot be seen or are difficult to see due to sand, etc.
●The vehicle is driven on a road surface that is wet due to rain, puddles, etc.
●The traffic lines are yellow (which may be more difficult to recognize than lines that are
white).
●The white (yellow) lines cross over a curb, etc.
●The vehicle is driven on a bright surface, such as concrete.
●The vehicle is driven on a surface that is bright due to reflected light, etc.
●The vehicle is driven in an area where the brightness changes suddenly, such as at the

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
RSA recognizes specific road signs
using the camera sensor and provides
information to the driver via the multi-
information display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed limit, perform-
ing 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. RS A is a system which supports the driver by
providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and aware- ness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.

2924-5. Using the driving support systems
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
After the camera sensor recognizes a sign, it is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display when the vehicle passes the sign.
●When the driving assist system infor-
mation is selected, a maximum of 3
signs can be displayed. ( P. 111)
●When other than the driving assist
system information is selected, a
speed limit sign or an all canceled
sign can be displayed. ( P. 111)
A no overtaking sign and a speed limit sign with supplemental mark are
not displayed. Howeve r, if signs other than speed limit signs are recog-nized, they are mentioned in a stack
under the current speed limit sign.

*1: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark does not dis-
play.
*2:On some models
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a warning dis-
play.
●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 dis-
played on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
●On some models: When the RSA system recognizes a no-entry sign and
detects that the vehicle has entered a no-entry area based on the map infor-
mation 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 properly.
■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 op erate normally and may not recognize signs,
display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield 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 sensor 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 comp atible 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 cam-era 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.
●On some models: The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the navigation system may be different due to the navigation system using map data.
■When driving vehicle in country with different speed unit
Since RSA recognizes signs based on the set unit of the meter, it is necessary to changethe set unit of the meter. Adjust the set unit of the meter to the speed unit of signs in the
current location. (P. 565)
■Turning the system on/off
■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned off while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi-
information display, the same sign displays again when the power switch is turned to ON mode.
■Customization
Setting (e.g. speeding warning threshold) can be changed. (Customizable feature: P. 561)
Select on of the
multi-information display (P. 111)
Press on the steering wheel.
