*: If equipped
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using the
front camera and/or navigation
system (when speed limit infor-
mation is available) to provide
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.When the front camera recog-
nizes a sign and/or information
of a sign is available from the
navigation system, the sign will
be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
When the driving support sys-
tem information is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be
displayed. ( P.97)
When a tab other than the
driving support system infor-
mation is selected, the follow-
ing types of road signs will be
displayed. ( P.97)
• Speed limit sign
• Do Not Enter sign (when notifica-
tion is necessary)

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.

are recognized, th ey 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,
the displayed sign will flash
and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a
notification function may not
operate properly.
■Setting procedure
1 Press or of the meter
control switches and select .
2 Press or of the meter
control switch es and select
“ RSA”, then press .
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign
display
In the following si tuations, a dis-
played speed limit sign and/or do
not enter sign will stop being dis-
played automatically:
●No sign has been recognized for a
certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or
right turn, etc.
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 si tuations, 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.

■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned
off while a speed limit sign was dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play, the same sig n displays again
when the power switch is turned to
ON.
■If “RSA Malfunction Visit Your

The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

Driving
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle auto-
matically accelerates, deceler-
ates and stops to match the
speed changes of the preceding
vehicle even if the accelerator
pedal is not depressed. In con-
stant speed control mode, the
vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range on
freeways and highways.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range
●Driving safely is the sole
responsibility of the driver. Do
not rely solely on the system,
and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attent ion to your sur-
roundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range pro-
vides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden.
However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the followin g conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.

Driving
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is ope rated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehi cle will accel-
erate to help to overt ake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined
solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side
driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehi cle is driven to a
region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from wh ere the vehi-
cle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the tur n signal lever
is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e .g., if the driver
normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the
right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the left, the
vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constan t speed cruising.
1Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
If the cruise cont rol main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds
or more, the syste m turns on in
constant speed control mode. (

■Increasing the set speed by
the accelerator pedal
1 Accelerate with accelerator
pedal operation to the
desired vehicle speed
2 Press the “-SET” switch
Pressing the switch changes the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance as
follows:
1 Long
2 Medium
3 Short
If a vehicle is running ahead of you,
the preceding vehicle mark will
also be displayed.
Select a distance from the table
below. Note that the distances
shown correspond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accor-
dance with vehicle speed. When
the vehicle is stopped by system
control, the vehicle stops at a
certain vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance depending on the situa-
tion.
After the vehicle ahead of you
starts off, press the “+RES”
switch.
Your vehicle will also resume
follow-up cruising if the acceler-
ator pedal is depressed after the
vehicle ahead of you starts off.

Resume”
1 Pressing the cancel switch
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been
stopped by system control,
depressing the brake pedal does
not cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control
and returns vehicle speed to
the set speed. When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the
driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front
of you while you are following a
vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
small.
