WARNING
■Before using the LCA system
●Do not overly rely on the LCA
system.
The LCA system is not a system
which provides automated assis-
tance in driving and it is not a sys-
tem which reduces the need for

other vehicles, approaching vehi-
cles, etc. when changing lanes.
The driver is solely responsible for
paying attention to their surround-
ings and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety.
Also, do not use the LCA to
change lanes into which a lane
change should not be performed
(oncoming lanes, road shoulders,
etc.).
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.

PDA (Proactive driv-
ing assist)
When a detectable object
(P.321) is detected, the
proactive driving assist
operates the brakes and
steering wheel to help pre-
vent the vehicle from
approaching too close to
the object.
WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver.
●The proactive driving assist is
designed to provide some
assistance for regular braking
and steering operations, as well
as helping to prevent the vehicle
from approaching too close to a
detectable object. However, the
scope of this assistance is lim-
ited.
The driver should perform brake
and steering operations as neces-
sary. Read the following items
carefully. Do not overly rely on the
proactive driving assist and
always drive carefully. ( P.323)
●The proactive driving assist is
not a system which reduces the
amount of attention necessary
for safe driving. Even if the sys-
tem is operating correctly, the
surrounding conditions as rec-
ognized by the driver and
detected by the system may dif-
fer. It is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks,
and ensure safety. Over-reli-
ance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an
accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Proactive driving assist is not a
system which allows for inatten-
tive driving and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention
to their surroundings and driving
safely.

WARNING
■For safe use
Driving safely is solely the respon-
sibility of the driver. Pay careful
attention to the surrounding con-
ditions in order to ensure safe
driving. The FCTA system is a
supplementary system that
informs the driver of vehicles
approaching from the left and
right of the front of the vehicle.
Over-reliance on this system may
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury. The
details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic condi-
tions. Although the warning dis-
play will stop being displayed after
a certain amount of time, this
does not necessarily indicate that
there are no longer any vehicles
or pedestrians around your vehi-
cle.

played sign may stop being dis-
played:
●When a new sign has not been
detected for a certain distance
●When the system determines that
the road being driven on has
changed, such as after a left or
right turn
■Situations in which the display
function may not operate prop-
erly
In the following situations, the RSA
system may not operate properly
and may not detect signs or may
display the incorrect sign. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When a sign is dirty, faded, tilted
or bent
●When the contrast of an electronic
sign is low
●When all or part of a sign is hidden
by a tree, utility pole, etc.
●When a sign is detected by the
front camera for a short amount of
time
●When the driving state (turning,
changing lanes, etc.) is judged
incorrectly
RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system detects
specific road signs using
the front camera and/or nav-
igation system (when speed
limit information is avail-
able) and warns the driver
via displays 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.
