In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a
warning display.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold
applied to the speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, the sign color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking
sign is displayed on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
■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 operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
●The front sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the
sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the front windshield near the front sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front sensor.
●The sign is small, 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 front 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 compatible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
●Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the front sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
●The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
Navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the Navigation sys-
tem using map data.

AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■When to use the Stop & Start system
●If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is
shifted into a position other than N with the clutch pedal released, a buzzer
will sound and Stop & Start indicator will flash. This indicates that the engine
is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not that the engine has been
turned off completely.
●Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
●When the system cannot operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning
messages and the warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. (P. 539)
●Vehicles with smart entry and start system: Even if the engine switch is
pressed during an engine stop, the engine does not restart. Start the engine
by shifting the shift lever to N and performing a normal engine start opera-
tion.
●When the engine restarts after having been stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlet may be temporarily unusable, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the windshield is fogged up while the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system
Turn the windshield defogger on. (The engine will start due to the automatic
engine start function.) (P. 394, 401)
If the windshield fogs up frequently, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
deactivate the system.
■Air conditioning system while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system (vehicles with an air conditioning system)
While the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the air conditioning
system (cooling, heating and dehumidifying functions) is cancelled and it only
blows air or stops blowing air. In order to prevent the air conditioning system
from being cancelled, deactivate the Stop & Start system by pressing the Stop
& Start cancel switch.
