When approaching an intersection
at low speed, the radar sensors on

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The FCTA system is a supplementary
system that informs the driver of vehicles
approaching from the left and right of the
front of the vehicle.
Do not overly rely on the FCTA system.
Over reliance on the system may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
The details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic conditions.
Although the warning display will stop
being displayed after a certain amount of
time, this does not indicate that vehicles
or pedestrians are no longer around your
vehicle.

Driving
*:If equipped
The RSA system recognizes specific
road signs using the front camera
and/or navigation system (when speed
limit information is available) to provide
information to the driver via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is
being driven over the speed limit, per-
forming prohibited actions, etc.
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
When the front camera recognizes a sign and/or information of a sign is
available from the navigation system,
the sign will be displayed on the
multi-information display.

When the Driving support system
information display is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. ( P.82)
 When a tab other than the Driving
support system information display
is selected, the following types of
road signs will be displayed.
( P.82)
• Speed limit sign
• Do Not Enter sign (when notification is
necessary)
If signs other than speed limit signs are rec-
ognized, they will be displayed in an over-
lapping stack under th e current speed limit
sign.

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.
