WA R N I N G
Always check the traffic signs visually while driving.
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlookin g traffic signs and provides support for safer
driving. Depending on the weath er conditions or problems with
traffic signs, a
traffic sign
may not be recognised or a traffic sign different from the actual traffic sign may be displayed.
Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the actual
traffic signs. Otherwise, it
could result in an accident.
NOTE
•The TSR does not operate if there is a malf unction in the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).
•Under the following conditions, the TSR may not operate normally.
•An object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.
•Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is tilted.
•The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
•Tyres other than standard tyres are equipped.
•The vehicle is driven on the ramp and surrounding area to or from a rest area or a
tollgate on a highway.
•When surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a
tunnel.
•The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is
deviated.
•The windscreen is dirty or foggy.
•The windscreen and camera are fogged (water droplets).
•Strong light is directed at the front of the vehicle (such as backlight or high-beam
headlights of on-coming vehicles).
•The vehicle is making a sharp turn.
•Strong light reflects off the road.
•A traffic sign is in a position which makes it difficult to reflect the light from the
vehicle's headlights, such as when the vehicle is driven at night or in a tunnel.
•The vehicle is driven under weather conditions such as rain, fog, or snow.
•The stored map data for the navigation system is not current.
•A traffic sign is obscured by mud or snow.

•If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LAS&LDWS operation is temporarily cancelled. The
LAS&LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines
while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
•If the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time, the
LAS&LDWS may not operate.
•When white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the LAS&LDWS does not operate.
•Under the following conditions, the LAS&LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow)
lane lines correctly and it may not operate normally.
•If an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.
•Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is tilted.
•The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
•Tyres other than conventional tyres are equipped.
•Vehicle is driven on an intersection or junction, or on a forked road.
•The white (yellow) lane lines are less visi ble because of dirt or fading/patchiness.
•A vehicle in front of your vehicle is running near a white (yellow) lane line making it
less visible.
•A white (yellow) lane line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).
•The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from
construction where there may be multiple wh ite (yellow) lane lines or they are
interrupted.
•A misleading line is picked up on the road su ch as a temporary line for construction, or
because of shade, lingering snow, or grooves filled with water.
•The surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a
tunnel.
•The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is
deviated.

Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahea d of the vehicle while
travelling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) can detect objects v aries depending on the surrounding conditions.
WA R N I N G
Do not modify the suspension:
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly detect
vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or mistakenly operating,
which could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION
 Do not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windscreen near the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC).
