Road Sign Information (RSI)*
RSI is a feature that helps the driver see roadsigns showing the posted speed limit.
Examples of readable road signs
If the vehicle passes a sign showing the speedlimit, this will be displayed in the instrument paneland the head-up display*.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with the SensusNavigation system, speed-related informationis provided by this system in the followinginstances:
•In cases where the speed limit is givenindirectly (e.g., when driving on highwaysor other major roads).
•If a previously read speed limit sign is nolonger considered valid and no new signhas been passed.
If a third-party navigation system is beingused, RSI has no support for speed-relatedinformation.
WARNING
RSI does not function in all situations and isonly intended to provide supplementary infor-mation.
The driver is always responsible for operatingthe vehicle safely.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)
DAC is intended to alert the driver if his/her driv-ing becomes erratic due to e.g., distraction orfatigue.
DAC is designed to help detect a slowly chang-ing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to beused on main roads and is not meant for use incity traffic.
The function activates initially when the vehicle'sspeed first exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h) andremains active as long the speed remains aboveapprox. 38 mph (60 km/h)
A camera monitors the traffic lane's side markerlines and compares the direction of the road withthe driver
