Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)

The DSA is a system which provides

advice for maintaining the appropriate

distance between vehicles and noti

fi

es

the driver of the recommended, safe

distance to maintain with a vehicle

ahead. The system measures the

distance between your vehicle and a

vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed

is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If

the distance between your vehicle and

a vehicle ahead is close, the system

alerts the driver of a possible collision

using an indication on the display.

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the DSA

:

The ability of the system to detect a

vehicle ahead is limited depending on

the type of vehicle ahead, weather

conditions, or tra

ffi

c conditions. In

addition, the system is not for

maintaining the distance between your

vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you

neglect to operate the accelerator and

brake pedals correctly, it could lead to

an accident. Always check the safety of

the surrounding area and depress the

brake pedal or accelerator pedal while

keeping a safe distance from vehicles

ahead or on-coming vehicles.
