PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)■Temporary cancellation of functions
When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be temporarily
canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation
of the function is automatically restored. (P. 290)
■Steering control function
Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the function is operating or the function may not
operate at all.
■Lane departure alert function
The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc.
■Hands off steering wheel warning
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, the warning may not operate.
■Vehicle sway warning function
■White (yellow) lines are only on one side of road
The LDA system will not operate for the side on which white (yellow) lines
could not be recognized. When the system determines that the
driver has removed their hands from the
steering wheel while the steering control
function is operating, a warning message
urging the driver to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
If the driver continues to keep their hands
off of the steering wheel, a warning mes-
sage and the symbol shown in the illustra-
tion are displayed on the multi-information
display, and the function is temporarily
canceled. This warning also operates in
the same way when the driver continu-
ously operates the steering wheel only a
small amount. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel when using this
system, regardless of warnings.
When the system determines that the
vehicle is swaying while the vehicle sway
warning function is operating, a buzzer
sounds and a warning message urging
the driver to rest and the symbol shown in
the illustration are simultaneously dis-
played on the multi-information display.

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
RSA recognizes specific road
signs using the camera sensor
and provides information to the
driver via the main display or
multi-information display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc., in relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the driver using a warning display and warning
buzzer*.
*: This setting needs to be customized.

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.
