2584-5. Using the driving support systems
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific 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, performing prohibited ac tions, etc. according to the recognized
road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notification and notifi-
cation buzzer.

■ 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 the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on
the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur-
roundings.
● The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range provides driving
assistance to reduce the driver's burden. However, there are li mitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahe ad:
P. 277
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly: P. 278
● Set the speed appropriately depending 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 s olely 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 control with full-speed range s etting to off,
using the cruise control main switch when not in use.
