When the vehicle is swaying within a
lane, the warning buzzer will sound and
a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to alert the
driver.
■Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required assis-
tance by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current lane.

full-speed range is not operating, the lane
centering function does not operate.
In situations where the white (yellow) lane
lines are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, this function
will operate to help follow a preceding
vehicle by monitoring the position of the
preceding vehicle.
If the system detect s that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed
on the multi-informat
ion display and the
function is temporarily canceled.

driver is driving without holding the steer-
ing wheel while the system is operating
If the driver continues to keep their hands
off of the steering wheel, the buzzer
sounds, the driver is warned and the func-
tion is temporarily ca nceled. This warning

vehicle may deviate from the lane while
driving around a curve while the lane
centering function is operating.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not
operate. Also, if the system determines that
the vehicle is driving around a curve, warn-
ings will occur earlier than during
straight-lane driving.

2204-5. Using the driving support systems
*:If equipped
When the front camera recognizes a
sign, the sign will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
When the driving assist system
information is selected, a maximum
of 3 signs can be displayed.
( P.79)
 When a tab other than the driving
assist system information is selected,
the following types of road signs will
be displayed ( P.79)
• 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 the current speed limit
sign.
The following types of road signs,
including electronic signs and blinking
signs, are recognized.
A non-official or a recently introduced traf-
fic sign may not be recognized.
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era to provide information to the
driver via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing 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.

Driving
In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem will notify the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed notification threshold of
the speed limit sign displayed, the
sign display will be emphasized and
a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recognizes a
do not enter sign and determines
that your vehicle has entered a
no-entry area, the displayed sign will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a notifica-
tion function may not operate properly.
■Setting procedure

tain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right
turn, etc.
In the following situations, stop and yield
signs will stop being displayed automati-
cally:
●The system determines that your vehicle
has passed the sign.
●The road changes due to a left or right
turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may
not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not
operate normally and may not recognize
signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned due to a
strong impact being applied to the sen-
sor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the wind-
shield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain,
