nizes a sign and/or information
of a sign is available from the
navigation system, the sign will
be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
 When the driving assist sys-
tem information is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be
displayed. ( P.82, 91)
 When a tab other than the
driving assist system informa-
tion is selected, the following
types of road signs will be dis-
played. ( P.82, 91)
• Speed limit sign

RSA (Road Sign
Assist)*
The RSA system recognizes
specific road signs using
the front camera and/or nav-
igation system (when speed
limit information is avail-
able) to provide information
to the driver via the display.
If the system judges that the
vehicle is being driven over
the speed limit, performing
prohibited actions, etc. in
relation to the recognized
road signs, it notifies the
driver using a notification
display and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA
system. RSA is a system which
supports the driver by providing
information, but it is not a replace-
ment for a driver’s own vision and
awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to
the traffic rules.
Indication on the
multi-information display

2524-5. Using the driving support systems
HIGHLANDER_Uare recognized, they will be dis-
played in an overlapping stack
under the current speed limit sign.
The following types of road
signs, including electronic signs
and blinking signs, are recog-
nized.
A non-official or a recently intro-
duced traffic sign may not be recog-
nized.
In the following situations, the
RSA system will notify the
driver.

When the vehicle speed
exceeds the speed notifica-
tion threshold of the speed
limit sign displayed, the sign
display will be emphasized
and a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recog-
nizes a do not enter sign and determines that your vehicle
has entered a no-entry area,
the displayed sign will flash
and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a
notification function may not
operate properly.

■Conditions in which the func-
tion may not operate or detect
correctly
In the following situations, RSA
does not operate normally and may
not recognize signs, display the
incorrect sign, etc. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned
due to a strong impact being
applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the
windshield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as
heavy rain, fog, snow or sand
storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle,
the sun, etc. enters the front cam-
era.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or
bent.
●The contrast of electronic sign is
low.
●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
camera 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 adja-
cent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of
the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system com-
patible sign is recognized.
●Side road speed signs may be
detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the front camera)
while the vehicle is traveling on
the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs
may be detected and displayed (if
positioned in sight of the front
camera) while traveling on a
roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●The surrounding brightness is not
sufficient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks,
etc. is recognized.
●The speed information displayed
on the meter and that displayed
on the navigation system may be
different due to the navigation sys-
tem using map data.
■Speed limit sign display
If the engine switch was last turned
off while a speed limit sign was dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play, the same sign displays again
when the engine switch is turned to
