■Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane*, a warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and either
a warning buzzer will sound or the
steering wheel will vibrate to alert
the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or
the steering wheel vibrates, check the
area around your vehicle and carefully
operate the steering wheel to move the
vehicle back to the center of the lane.
Vehicle with BSM: When the system
determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane and that the possi-
bility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
lane departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
*: May recognize the boundaries
between the asphalt and the side of
the road, such as grass, soil, or the
curb, to be road lanes.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
●Driving 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.
●The 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.

The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era and/or 7-inch/8-inch display
navigation 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 prohibited actions, etc.
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■To avoid operating the speed lim- iter by mistake
Switch the speed limiter off using the
speed limiter main switch when not in use.
■Situations unsuitable for speed limiter
Do not use speed limiter in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in loss of control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
●On slippery roads, such as those
covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep hills
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA sys- tem. RSA is a system which supports

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, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary 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 function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer • When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the
vehicle • When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area• Immediately after the Blind Spot Moni-
tor is turned on
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor
unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object may increase in the fol-lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecu- tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other
than the adjacent lanes enters the detection area• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a following vehicle is short• When an accessory (such as a bicycle
carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehicle

Approximately 150 cm (4.9 ft.)
Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle are not
detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the side
sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a buzzer so unds.
■Object warning function operating
conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 7 m (23.0 ft.) after the hybrid system is started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been selected, the vehicle has moved 7 m (23.0 ft.) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed and the panoramic view monitor screen is
displayed.
●The front or rear sensor detects a sta-
tionary object.
■Detection of objects along the sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the vehicle are not instantaneously detected. The location of objects in relation to the
vehicle is estimated after they are first detected by the front or rear side sen-sors, or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to ON, even if an object is along the side of the vehicle, it may not be detected
until the vehicle has been driven a small amount and the side sensors or
side cameras completely scan the
areas along the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side cameras, but then leaves the detec-tion area of the side sensors or side
cameras, the system will assume the object has not moved.

■Object warning function
In situations such as the following, the function may not operate correctly,
