y The radar sensors (rear) of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors
in this system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and
Mexico. If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is driven in a country other
than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.
y The system switches to the Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert function when the selector lever is
shifted to the reverse (R) position.
Refer to Rear Cross Traf ¿ c Alert (RCTA) on page 4-102 .

*Some models.
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
or faster (19 mph or faster), and indicates a recommended distance to maintain between
the vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than
the appropriate distance to maintain between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed,
the area between the vehicle-ahead indication and the vehicle indication in the multi-
information display À ashes in white to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the
vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a
safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
N O T E

conditions are met:
y The ignition is switched ON.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.
y The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
y The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).
y The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may not operate normally under the
following conditions:
y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
y The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
y The system does not operate with the following objects:
y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
