*: 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.

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.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range
●Driving safely is th e sole responsibility
of the driver. Do not rely solely on the
system, and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attention to your
surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range provides driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-
den. However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor ma y not be correctly
detecting the vehicle ahead:
P.195
• Conditions under which the vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly:
P.196
●Set the speed appropriately depend-
ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
●Even when the system is functioning
normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system
may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, the
driver must always remain alert, assess
the danger of each situation and drive
safely. Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures safety
while driving can lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range setting to off,
using the “ON/OFF” button when not
in use.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the driving assist
systems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system. Failure to do so
may cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure follow-
ing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to help
the driver in determining the following
distance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead. It is not a me chanism that allows
careless or inattentive driving, and it is
not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay close
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether the
following distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is
not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include func-
tions which will prevent or avoid colli-
sions with vehicles ahead of your vehicle.
Therefore, if there is ever any possibility
of danger, the driver must take immedi-
ate and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure the
safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range in any of the follow-
ing situations. Doing so may result in
inappropriate speed control and could
cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians,
cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those cov-
ered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there
are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed
when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and highways
●When weather conditions are bad
enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detectin g correctly (fog,
snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on the
front surface of the radar or front cam-
era
●In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is
heard often

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately
328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the cu rrent vehicle-to-vehicle following dis-
tance, and operates to maintain a suitab le following distance from the vehicle
ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill sl opes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by
the driver. Approach warning warns you when th e system cannot decelerate sufficiently to
prevent your vehicle from clos ing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehi cle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts of f, pushing the cruise control lever up or
depressing the accelerator peda l (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the
start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your vehicle
stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane while
driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accelerate to help to overtake a
passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be dete rmined solely based on

1924-5. Using the driving support systems
Select a distance from the table below.
Note that the distances shown corre-
spond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accordance
with vehicle speed. When the vehicle is
stopped by system control, the vehicle
stops at a certain vehicle-to-vehicle
distance depending on the situation.
After the vehicle ahead of you starts
off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off.1
Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed. (When the
vehicle has been stopped by system con-
trol, depressing the brake pedal does not
cancel the setting.)
2Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.

Driving
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
 When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow speed
 Immediately after the cruise control
speed was set
 When depressing the accelerator
pedal
While driving in vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, this function will
reduce the vehicle speed, if it is deter-
mined to be necessary.
■Function operation
When the steering wheel begins to be
turned, the vehicle speed will begin
being reduced. When the steering wheel is returned to the center posi-
tion, the vehicle speed reduction will
end.
Depending on the situation, the vehicle
speed will then return to the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
set speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control needs to operate,
such as when a preceding vehicle cuts
in front of your vehicle, the curve speed
reduction function will be canceled.
■Operation display
Displayed when the vehicle speed is
being reduced.
When the vehicle speed reduction ends,
the display will disappear.
■Changing the settings of the curve
speed reduction function
The curve speed reduction function
can be enabled/disabled and the vehi-
cle speed reduction strength can be
adjusted on ( P.75) of the
multi-information display.
The setting will chan ge each time the
meter control switch is pressed.
