Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)*
▼Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The TSR helps prevent the driver
from overlooking traffic signs, and provides support for
safer driving by displaying traffic signs on the active driving display/instrument cluster
which are recognized by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or rec orded in the navigation
system while the v ehicle is driven.
The TSR displays the speed limit (including auxiliary signs), do not enter, and traffic stop
signs.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign indicated in the active driving display/
instrument cluster while the vehicle is driven, the system noti fies the driver using the
indication in the active driving display/instrument cluster and a warning sound.

Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone using voice
recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep befor e speaking a command.

You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases the
longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as “Mama”, “Home”,
or “wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized . Speak in the wording
specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Spea k the voice commands
while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonro of to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and
to prevent the airflow of the a ir-conditioning system from bein g a disturbance when using
Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.
Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.
If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set t o high, set the Barge-In to
OFF.
