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 noti cation 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
noti es 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 tra c 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.
