When the front camera
detects a sign or information of a sign is available from the
navigation system (if
equipped), the sign will be
displayed on the display.
 Multiple signs can be dis-
played.
Depending on the specifications of
the vehicle, the number of dis-
played signs may be limited.
■Operating conditions of sign
display
Signs will be displayed when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
●The system has detected a sign
In the following si tuations, a dis-
played sign may stop being dis-
played:
●When a new sign has not been
detected for a certain distance
●When the system determines that
the road being driven on has
changed, such as after a left or
right turn
■Situations in which the display
function may not operate prop-
erly
In the following situ ations, the RSA
system may not operate properly
and may not detect signs or may
display the incorrect sign. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When a sign is dirty, faded, tilted
or bent
●When the contrast of an electronic
sign is low
●When all or part of a sign is hidden
by a tree, utility pole, etc.
●When a sign is d etected by the
front camera for a short amount of
time
●When the driving state (turning,
changing lanes, etc.) is judged
incorrectly
●When a sign is immediately after a
RSA (Road Sign
Assist)
The RSA system detects
specific road signs using
the front camera and/or
navigation system (if
equipped) (when speed limit
information is available)
and warns the driver via dis-
plays and buzzers.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
●Do not rely solely upon the
RSA. The RSA assists the
driver by providing road sign
information, but it is not a
replacement for the driver’s own
vision and awareness. Driving
safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions in order to ensure safe
driving.
■Situations in which the RSA
should not be used

In this case, the speed limit signs
displayed on the multi-information
display and navigat ion system dis-
play may differ.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will output a warn-
ing to notify the driver.
 If the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed warning threshold
of the speed limit sign dis-
played on the display, the sign
display will be emphasized
and a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system
detects a do not enter sign
and determines that the vehi-
cle has entered a no-entry
area, the do not enter sign
displayed on the display will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
■Operating conditions of the
notification functions
●Excess speed notification function
This function will operate when the
following condition is met:
• A speed limit road sign is recog- nized by the system.
●No entry notification function
This function will operate when all of
the following conditions are met:
• More than one no entry road signs are recognized by the system
simultaneously.
• The vehicle is passing between no
entry road signs recognized by the
system.
 The following types of road
signs can be displayed.
However, non-standard or recently
introduced traffic signs may not be
displayed.

Mute will be canceled automati-
cally in the following situations:
When the shift position is
changed.
 When the vehicle speed
exceeds a certain speed.
 When there is a malfunction
in a sensor or the system is
temporarily unavailable.
 When the operating function
is disabled manually.
 When the power switch is
turned off. The object warning function
informs the driver of the exis-
tence of objects along the side
of the vehicle, using a display
and buzzer, if the objects are
within the estimated path of the
vehicle.
Object
Calculated vehicle route
When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras ca n
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected obje ct can
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the obje ct
warning function will operate.

2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are out side of the detection area of the
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a
buzzer sounds.
■Object warning function operat-
ing conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft.
(7 m) after the EV system is
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been
selected, the vehicle has moved
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed
and the panoramic view monitor
screen is displayed.
●The front or rear s ensor detects a
stationary object.
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until th e vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors or side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is
detected by a side sensors or side
cameras, but then leaves the
detection area of the side sensors
or side cameras, the system will
assume the object has not moved.
WARNING
■Side sensors and side cam-
eras
In situations such as the following,
the function may not operate cor-
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Proceed carefully.
●When starting off shortly after
the power switch is turned to
ON and a small vehicle or other
object which cannot be detected
by a front side sensor is next to
the vehicle.
In the situation s hown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on
the left will not be detected and
the object warni ng function will
not operate.
●When an object or person is in a
position which cannot be
detected by the side sensors or
side cameras.
●When, after the side sensors
have completed scanning the
areas along the sides of the
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or
other object approaches the
side of the vehicle and cannot
be detected.

WARNING
●When the outside rear view mir-
ror is closed, the side sensors
or side cameras cannot detect
objects.
●If the 12-volt battery was dis-
charged or has been removed
and installed, fold and extend
the outside rear view mirrors.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sen-
sors installed behind the
rear bumper. This function
is intended to assist the
driver in checking areas
that are not easily visible
when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not
function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

up, the rear camera detec-
tion function can detect
pedestrians in the detec-
tion area behind the vehicle.
If a pedestrian is detected, a
buzzer will sound and an
icon will be displayed on
the multimedia display to

pedestrian.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The recognition and control capa-
bilities for this system are limited.
The driver shoul d always drive
safely by always being responsi-
ble without over relying on the
system and have a understanding
of the surrounding situations.

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
probability of a collision
with a detected object or
pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the
driver to take evasive
action. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of
a collision with a detected
object or pedestrian is
extremely high, the brakes
are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of
the collision.
PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) system

3405-4. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped by brake control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by
brake control.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle.
■Detection range
The detection area of the moving
vehicles rear of the vehicle differs
from the detection area of the RCTA
function ( P.324). Therefore, even
if the RCTA function detects a vehi-
cle and provides an alert, the mov-
ing vehicles rear of the vehicle may
not start operating.
■RCTA buzzer
Regardless of weather the RCTA
function is on o r off, if the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) system is
not disabled, when the brake control
operates, the buzze r will sounds to
alert the driver.

Pedestrians Rear of
the Vehicle*
If the rear camera sensor
detects a pedestrian behind
the vehicle while backing
up and the system deter-
mines that the possibility of
colliding with the detected
pedestrian is high, a buzzer
will sound. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of colliding with the
detected pedestrian is
extremely high, the brakes
will be applied automati-
cally to help reduce the
impact of the collision.
