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 about 30
km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than
what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles according to the vehicle
speed, a notification in the active driving display is indicated to advise you to keep a safe
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 notifies
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 traffic 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.

NOTE



The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:



The ignition is switched ON.



The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.



The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).



The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster).



The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.



The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.



The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) system may not operate normally under
the following conditions:



The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.



The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.



The system does not operate with the following objects:



Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.



Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
