Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Tra ffi c Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support
for safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display/instrument
cluster which are recognised by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or recorded in
the navigation system while the vehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs) , do not enter,
traffic stop,
and passing prohibited
* signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving
display/instrument cluster while the vehicle is driven, the system notifies the driver
using the indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning

Driver Attention Alert
(DAA)
*
▼Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
The DAA is a system which detects
driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest.
When the vehicle is driven inside traffic
lane lines at about 65 to 140 km/h
(41 to 86 mph), the DAA estimates the
amount of accumulated fatigue and
decreased attentiveness of the driver
based on the information from the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and
other vehicle information, and
encourages the driver to take a rest
using an indication on the
multi-information display and a
warning sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on DAA and
always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness and
encourages the driver to take a rest,
however, it is not designed to prevent
the vehicle from straying. If you rely too
much on the DAA it could lead to an
accident. Drive carefully and operate
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to detect driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness correctly
depending on the
traffic and driving
conditions. The driver must take
sufficient rest in order to drive safely.
NOTE
xThe DAA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
xThe vehicle speed is about 65 to
140 km/h (41 to 86 mph).
