*1: A speed limit sign with a value greater than 130 may not be recognized
and a wrong speed limit may be displayed.
*2: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark
does not display.
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a
warning display.
● When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold
applied to the speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, the sign color becomes inverted.
● If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking
sign is displayed on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction,
speed, unit) may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may
not operate properly.
■ Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
● A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
● The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
● The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to
the sensor, etc.
● Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
● In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
● Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the camera sensor.
● The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast
is poor.
● All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

Four-wheel drive system
H2 (high speed position, two-
wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry
hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest
ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks
that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads.
This position provides greater trac-
tion than two-wheel drive.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on
L4 (low speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use L4 for climbing or descend-
ing steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud or deep
snow.
The four-wheel drive and low speed four-wheel drive indicator lights
come on
The A.D.D. can be engaged or disengaged by the shifting operations
described in the following shifting procedures.

■Shifting from H2 to H4
Reduce the vehicle speed to
less than 100 km/h (62 mph).
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the vehicle speed is
more than 100 km/h (62 mph).
Turn the front-wheel drive
control switch to H4.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light flashes while switching.
If turning the front-wheel drive
control switch when the vehicle
speed is more than 100 km/h
(62 mph), the four-wheel drive
indicator light flashes and a
buzzer sounds.
Reduce the vehicle speed to less than 100 km/h (62 mph), or return the
front-wheel drive control switch to H2 and try step again.
Check that the four-wheel
drive indicator light comes on.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on when switching
the transfer mode is completed.
If the four-wheel drive indicator
light does not stop flashing after
turning the front-wheel drive
control switch from H2 to H4,
perform any of the followings
while driving straight.
• Accelerating
• Decelerating
• Driving in reverse
The four-wheel drive indicator light may not stop flashing if the front-
wheel drive control switch is turned from H2 to H4 while the vehicle is
stopped. In this case, perform any of the followings.
• Driving forward
