●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.
■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 change
the set unit of the meter. Adjust the set unit of the meter to the speed unit of signs in the
current location. ( P. 641)
■Turning the system on/off
■Speed limit sign display
If the engine switch was last turned off while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi-
information display, the same sign displays again when the engine switch is turned to

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is set
automatically to long mode when the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION
ON mode.
If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the preceding vehicle mark will also be displayed.
Select a distance from the table below. Note that the distances shown corre-
spond to a vehicle speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accordance with vehicle speed.
Pulling the lever toward you cancels
the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
However, cruise control does not
resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
less.

After the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehicle is on an
incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling backwards until
the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the ma intained brake force is automatically
canceled.
●This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.
●Sound may be generated from the brak es, but this is not a malfunction.
●Brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur, but these are not
malfunctions.
■Operating conditions
●The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions are met:
