*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera to provide informa-
tion to the driver via the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over the
speed limit, performing prohib-
ited actions, etc. according to
the recognized road signs, it
notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notifica-
tion buzzer.

Summary of function
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 replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.
2144-5. Using the driving support systems
When the front camera recog-
nizes a sign, the sign will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
When the driving support sys-
tem information is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be
displayed. ( P.90)
When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation is selected, the follow-
ing types of road signs will be
displayed. ( P.90)
• Speed limit sign
• Do Not Enter sign (when notifica-
tion is necessary)
If signs other than speed limit signs
are recognized, they will be dis-
played in an overlapping stack under the current speed limit sign.
The following types of road
signs, including electronic signs
and blinking signs, are recog-
nized.
A non-official or a recently intro-
duced traffic sign may not be recog-
nized.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will notify the
driver.
When the vehicle speed
exceeds the speed notifica-
tion threshold of the speed
limit sign displayed, the sign
display will be emphasized
and a buzzer will sound.
When the RSA system recog-
nizes a do not enter sign and
determines that your vehicle
has entered a no-entry area,

In the following situations, stop and
yield signs will stop being displayed
automatically:
●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 func-
tion 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. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned
due to a strong impact being
applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the
windshield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as
heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms.
●Light from an oncoming vehicle,
the sun, etc. enters the front cam-
era.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or
bent.
●The contrast of electronic sign is
low.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by
the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front
camera for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane
change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●If a sign not appropriate for the
currently traveled lane, but the
sign exists directly after a freeway
branches, or in an adjacent lane
just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of
the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system com-
patible sign is recognized.
●Side road speed signs may be
detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front camera)
while the vehicle is traveling on
the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs
may be detected and displayed (if
positioned in sight of the front
camera) while traveling on a
roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not
sufficient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks,
etc. is recognized.
●The speed information displayed
on the meter and on the naviga-
tion system may be different due
to the navigation system using
map data.
■Speed limit sign display
