Driving
●When a sign is immediately after a
freeway junction or in an adjacent
lane just before merging
●When stickers are attached to the
rear of a preceding vehicle
●When a sign similar to a system
compatible sign is detected as a
system compatible sign
●When a speed limit sign for a
frontage road is within detection
range of the front camera
●When driving around a round-
about
●When a sign intended for trucks,
etc. is detected
●When the navigation system map
data is out of date
●When the navigation system can-
not be used
In this case, the speed limit signs
displayed on the multi-information
display and navigat ion system dis-
play may differ.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will output a warn-
ing to notify the driver.
 If the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed warning threshold
of the speed limit sign dis-
played on the display, the sign
display will be emphasized
and a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system
detects a do not enter sign
and determines that the vehi-
cle has entered a no-entry
area, the do not enter sign
displayed on the display will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
■Operating conditions of the
notification functions
●Excess speed notification function
This function will operate when the
following condition is met:
• A speed limit road sign is recog- nized by the system.
●No entry notification function
This function will operate when all of
the following conditions are met:
• More than one no entry road signs are recognized by the system
simultaneously.
• The vehicle is passing between no entry road signs recognized by the

& Start system “In Preparation”
• The brake pedal has been depressed further or pumped.
 The system will be enabled after
the engine runs and the brake
booster vacuum reaches a predeter-
mined level.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system has been turned on or is being used.
• The windshield defogger has been turned on.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.
 The system will be enabled after
the engine runs to sufficiently
charge the battery.
■When the buzzer sounds
If the driver’s door is opened when
the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system and the shift lever is in
D, a buzzer will s ound and the Stop
& Start system indicator will flash. To
stop the buzzer, close the driver’s
door.
■The Stop & Start system protec-
tion function
●When the volume of the audio
system is excessively high, sound
output from the audio system may
suddenly be cut off in order to
reduce battery consumption. To
prevent the audio system from
being cut off, keep the volume of
audio system at a moderate level.
If the audio system has been cut
off, turn the engine switch off, wait
for 3 seconds or more and then
turn it to ACC or ON to re-enable
the audio system.
●The audio system may not be acti-
vated if the battery terminals are
disconnected an d then recon-
nected. If this o ccurs, turn the engine switch off and then repeat
the following oper
ation twice to
activate the audio system nor-
mally.
• Turn the engine switch to ON and then to OFF.
■Replacing the battery
 P.421
■If the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on
