■Conditions in which the light distribution control of the headlights changes automati-
cally
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned on automat- ically and the system will operate:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (38 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
●When all of the following conditions are me t, the shaded high beams will turn on and the distance that the low beams are projecte d will be adjusted automatically, depending on the location of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60 km/h (38 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.• There are vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions is met, the high beams or shaded high beams will be changed to the low beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approximately 60 km/h (38 mph). • The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.• There are many vehicles ahead.
• Vehicles ahead are moving quickly and the high beams may blind the drivers of the other vehicles.
■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beams may not be automatically changed to the shaded high beams in the fol-lowing situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle • When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight du e to repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road • When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to the shad ed high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without its head lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other
reflective objects may cause the high beam s to change to the shaded high beams, cause the high beams not to change to the sh aded high beams, or change the area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lig hts, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle • The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface etc.)• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the headlights may change unexpectedly.

• When vehicles ahead appear in a faraway lane on a wide road • When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicl e ahead that is using fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other
reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high beams to turn on
or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side • When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)

*1: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark does not dis-
play.
*2: Vehicles with a navigation system
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a warning dis-
play.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold applied to the
speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-information display, the sign
color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking sign is dis-
played on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
●Vehicles with a navigation system: When the RSA system recognizes a no-
entry sign and detects that the vehicle has entered a no-entry area based on
the map information of the navigation system, the no-entry sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction, speed, unit)
may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may not operate properly.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
●A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not op erate normally and may not recognize signs,
display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc. enters the camera sensor.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast is poor.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system comp atible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance button.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler- ates your vehicle. When a greater reductio n in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to
changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach wa rning warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your ve hicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pushing the cruise control lever upor depressing the accelerator peda l will resume follow-up cruising.
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 con-
stant speed cruising.

Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever up or
down to change the speed, and release
when the desired speed is reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be increased
or decreased as follows:
For Europe
Fine adjustment: By 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: Increases or decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2
increments for as long as the lever is held
Except for Europe
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is
operated
Large adjustment: Increases or decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2
increments for as long as the lever is held
In the constant speed control mode ( P. 337), the set speed will be increased
or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: The speed will continue to change while the lever is held.
*1: When the set speed is shown in “km/h”

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in the
desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be incr eased or decreased continually until the
lever is released.
*1: When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
*2: When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Pulling the lever toward you cancels
the constant speed control.
The speed setting is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes the
constant speed control.
However, resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).

Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
disable the Stop & Start system.
The Stop & Start cancel indicator will
come on. Pressing the switch again will enable theStop & Start system and the Stop & Start
cancel indicator will turn off.
■Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it
will be automatically enabled when the engine switch is turned off, and then to
the engine started.
■If the Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed
●When the engine is stopped by the St op & Start system, pressing the Stop
& Start cancel switch will restart the engine.
●With the Stop & Start system disabl ed, pressing the Stop & Start cancel
switch will enable the system but no t stop the engine. From the next time
the vehicle is stopped (after the Stop & Start system has been enabled), the
engine will be stopped.
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehicle is on an
incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling backwards until
the engine is restarted and drive force is generated. When drive force is gener-
ated, the maintained brake force is automatically canceled.
●This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.
●Sound may be generated from the brak es, but this is not a malfunction.
●Brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur, but these are not
malfunctions.
