▼Vehicle Ahead Close Proximity
Wa r n i n g
When the system determines that the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead is close, the
i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol (warning/
risk avoidance support system) changes
from green to amber and the warning
indication is displayed on the
multi-information display. While checking
the safety of the surrounding area, depress
the brake pedal while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
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 disp lay and a warning
sound.
Use the DAA on expressways or
highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-200.

Driver Monitoring (DM)*
▼ Driver Monitoring (DM)
The DM is a system which detects driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and encourages the
driver to take a rest.
While driving the vehicle at about 5 km/h
(3 mph) or faster, the DM detects changes
in the driver's facial features using the
driver monitoring camera. The system
then estimates the amount of accumulated
fatigue and sleepiness of the driver and
encourages the driver to take a rest using a
warning indication
in the instrument
cluster and a warning sound.
Two types of warning indication patterns
are set for notifying the driver based on
the estimated amount of accumulated
fatigue and sleepiness of the driver.
Fatigue and sleepiness are detected:
Warning pattern (caution)
Much more fatigue and sleepiness are
detected: Warning pattern (warning)
