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

The ability of the system to detect a
vehicle ahead is limited depending on

vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you
neglect to operate the accelerator and
brake pedals correctly, it could lead to

keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
