YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52A54E■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 front sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the front sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front sensor.
●The sign is small, 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.
●The sign is only visible to the front sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
●Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the front sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
●The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
Navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the Navigation sys-
tem using map data.
