In the following situations, the RSA
system will notify the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed notification threshold
of the speed limit sign displayed,
the sign display will be empha-
sized and a buzzer will sound.
When the RSA system recog-
nizes a no-entry sign and detects
that the vehicle has entered a
no-entry area based on the map
information of the navigation sys-
tem, the no-entry sign flashes
and a buzzer will sound. (For
vehicles with navigation system)
If it is detected that your vehicle
is overtaking when a no overtak-
ing sign is displayed on the multi-
information display, the dis-
played sign will flash and a steer-
ing wheel will vibrate.

WARNING
QBefore using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
ODriving safely is the sole responsi-
bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to
your surroundings.
OThe dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range provides driv- ing assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance pro- vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be cor-
rectly detecting the vehicle ahead: P.342

• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: P.343
OSet the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con- ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-ble for checking the set speed.
OEven when the system is function-ing normally, the condition of the
preceding vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the con-dition observed by the driver.
Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely.
Relying solely on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an
accident, resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
OSwitch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off, using the cruise control main
switch when not in use.

WARNING
QCautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided by the system. Failure to do
so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
OAssisting the driver to measure fol-
lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism
that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can
assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.
OAssisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether
the following distance between the
driver’s own vehicle and a designated
vehicle traveling ahead is within a set
range. It is not capable of making any
other type of judgement. Therefore, it
is absolutely necessary for the driver
to remain vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of
danger in any given situation.
OAssisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include
functions which will prevent or avoid
collisions with vehicles ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver must
take immediate and direct control of
the vehicle and act appropriately in
order to ensure the safety of all
involved.
QSituations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
ORoads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
OIn heavy traffic
OOn roads with sharp bends
OOn winding roads
OOn slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
OOn steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp
up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
OAt entrances to freeways and high- ways
OWhen weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

5-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
WARNING
OWhen there is rain, snow, etc. on the front surface of the radar or
front camera
OIn traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and deceleration
OWhen your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
OWhen an approach warning buzzer is heard often
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

3365-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.

switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
