LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes
the lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle has deviated from its lane, it
alerts the driver using a buzzer and indications on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Front sensor
Press the LDA switch to activate
the system.
The LDA indicator will come on.
Press the switch again to turn the
LDA system off.
The LDA system will remain on or

turned to the “ON” position (vehi-
cles without smart entry & start
system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with smart entry & start
system).

■The Automatic High Beam can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start sys-
tem).
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to
repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights
without using the headlights is detected.
●House lights, street lights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause the high beam to turn off.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam
on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle only has operational lights on one
side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface
etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpectedly by the driver.

■ When driving vehicle in country with different speed unit
Since RSA recognizes signs based on the set unit of the meter, it is neces-
sary 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. 629)
■ 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 “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
■ Customization
The settings for warning display, warning buzzer*, speeding warning thresh-
old, etc., can be changed.
(Customizable feature: P. 629)
*: If a speed limit with supplemental mark is exceeded, the warning buzzer
does not operate.
Select on the settings display
( P. 111 )
Press on the steering wheel.
WARNING
■ Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. RSA is a system which supports
the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s
own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention
to the traffic rules.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.
