A non-official or a recently introduced traf-
fic sign may not be recognized.
RSA (Road Sign Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era to provide 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.
in relation to the recognized road
signs, it alerts the driver using a
warning display and warning
buzzer.
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 replacement for a driver’s own
vision and awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to the
traffic rules.

Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off. 1
Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels 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.)
2Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
