■The dynamic radar cruise control with road sign assist may not oper-
ate properly when
As the dynamic radar cruise control with road sign assist may not operate prop-
erly in situations where the RSA may not operate or cannot detect signs correctly ( P.304), when using this function,
make sure to confirm the actual speed limit.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not change to the detected speed limit by pressing and holding the “+” switch or “-” switch:
●When speed limit information is not available
●When the detected speed limit is the same as the set speed
●When the detected speed limit is out-side of the speed range which the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
The settings of Dynamic radar
cruise control can be changed
through customize settings.

WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the responsi-
bility of the driver. Therefore, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is solely responsible for pay-
ing attention to the vehicle’s sur- roundings and driving safely.
●Set the speed appropriately accord-ing to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather condi-
tions, etc. The driver is responsible for confirming the set speed.
■Situations in which cruise con-trol should not be used
Do not use the cruise control in the
following situations. As the system will not be able to provide appropriate control, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered 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.
●When it is necessary to disable the system: P.275

■LTA control when operation is can- celed
When emergency driving stop system
operation is canceled, LTA control may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off steer-
ing wheel warning operates, a
buzzer will sound intermittently and
a message will be displayed to
warn the driver, and the system will
judge if the driver is responsive or
not. If driving operations, such as
holding the steering wheel, are not
performed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter warn-
ing phase 2.
Vehicles with a driver monitor cam-
era: Depending on the type of
detection of the driver’s unrespon-
siveness, the system may skip
warning phase 1 and start the con-
trol of warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2, a
buzzer will sound in short intervals
and a message will be displayed to
warn the driver, and the vehicle will
slowly decelerate. If driving opera-
tions, such as holding the steering
wheel, are not performed within a
certain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is not
responsive and enter the decelera-
tion stop phase.
The audio system will be muted until
the driver becomes responsive.
When the vehicle is decelerating, the
brake lights may illuminate, depending
on the road conditions, etc.
After the vehicle has decelerated a cer-
tain amount, the emergency flashers
(hazard lights) will flash.
After the driver is judged as being
not responsive, a buzzer will sound
continuously and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly decelerate
and stop. While the vehicle is
decelerating, the emergency flash-
ers (hazard lights) will flash to warn
other drivers of the emergency.
After the vehicle is stopped, the
parking brake will be applied auto-
matically. After entering the stop
and hold phase, the buzzer will
continue sounding continuously, the
emergency flashers (hazard lights)
will flash to warn other drivers of
the emergency, and the doors will
unlock.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur- roundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-mentary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind
spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Moni-tor. As the function cannot judge if it
is safe to change lanes, over reli- ance could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor- rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
