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.

Camera sensor
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.

2704-5. Using the driving support systems
IS200t_EE(OM53D77E)
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. 97)
●When other than the driving assist
system information is selected, a
speed limit sign or an all canceled
sign can be displayed. ( P. 97)
A no overtaking sign and a speed
limit sign with supplemental mark are
not displayed. However, if signs other
than speed limit signs are recog-
nized, they are mentioned in a stack
under the current speed limit sign.

The following types of road signs, including electronic signs and blinking signs,
are recognized.
A non-official (not meeting the Vienna Convention) or a recently introduced traffic
sign may not be recognized.

*1: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark does not dis-play.
*2: Vehicles with a navigation system
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.
●Vehicles with a navigation system: When the RSA system recognizes a no-
entry sign and detects that the vehicle has entered a no-entry area based on
the map information 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 compatible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.

Driving
IS200t_EE(OM53D77E)
●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
IGNITION ON mode.
■Customization
Setting (e.g. speeding warning threshold) can be changed.

In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically acceler-
ates and decelerates to match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle even
if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. In constant speed control mode, the
vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control on freeways and highways.

Radar cruise control indicator will come
on and a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
Press the button again to deactivate the
cruise control.
If the “ON/OFF” button is pressed and
held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system
turns on in constant speed control
mode. (P. 282)
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (above
approximately 50 km/h [30 mph])
and push the lever down to set the
speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
lever is released be comes the set speed.

Medium
Short
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.
