*: If equipped
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or naviga-
tion system (when speed limit
information is available) to pro-
vide information 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 or steering wheel
vibration.
WARNING
QBefore using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. 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
QBefore using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
ODriving safely is the sole responsi-
bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to
your surroundings.
OThe dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range provides driv- ing assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance pro- vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead: P.342
C

E
• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: P.343
OSet the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con- ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-ble for checking the set speed.
OEven when the system is function-ing normally, the condition of the
preceding vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the con-dition 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 seri- ous injury.
OSwitch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off, using the cruise control main
switch when not in use.

WARNING
QCautions 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.
OAssisting the driver to measure fol-
lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism
that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can
assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.
OAssisting 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 vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of
danger in any given situation.
OAssisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include
functions which will prevent or avoid
collisions with vehicles ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver must
take immediate and direct control of
the vehicle and act appropriately in
order to ensure the safety of all
involved.
QSituations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
ORoads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
OIn heavy traffic
OOn roads with sharp bends
OOn winding roads
OOn slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
OOn 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.
OAt entrances to freeways and high- ways
OWhen weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
