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 di splay and warning buzzer*.

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 repl acement for a driver’s own vision and aware- ness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.
Inappropriate or negligent driving co uld lead to an unexpected accident.
