WARNING
■Situations in which the func-
tions may not operate prop-
erly
In the following situations, the
functions may not operate prop-
erly and the vehicle may depart
from its lane. Do not overly rely on
these functions. The driver is
solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering wheel
as necessary to ensure safety.
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle changes lanes (Your
vehicle may follow the preced-
ing or surrounding vehicle and
also change lanes)
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle is swaying (Your
vehicle may sway accordingly
and depart from the lane)
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle departs from a lane
(Your vehicle may follow the
preceding or surrounding vehi-
cle and also depart from the
lane)
●When a preceding or surround-
ing vehicle is being driven
extremely close to the left/right
lane line (Your vehicle may fol-
low the preceding or surround-
ing vehicle accordingly and

plays and buzzers.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely solely upon the
RSA. The RSA assists the
driver by providing road sign
information, but it is not a
replacement for the driver’s own
vision and awareness. Driving
safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe
driving.

Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill, the set vehicle
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off: If a preceding vehi cle stops, the vehicle will also stop
(controlled stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing
the “RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resum e
follow-up cruising (start off operation). If a start off operat ion is not
performed, the controlled stop will continue.

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 surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary 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 Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.
