Speed limit signs

• When the vehicle speed is about 1 km/h (0.6 mph) or faster, the speed limit sign is displayed when any one of the following conditions are met.

  • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes a speed limit sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.

  • The speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is read.

• In the following cases, display of the speed limit sign stops.

  • Each sensor determines that the vehicle has changed direction of travel.

  • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes a new speed limit sign which differs from the previous one (displays the new speed limit sign).

  • The speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is not read within a certain period of time (if the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) does not recognize a speed limit sign, the speed limit sign stored in the navigation system is displayed).

  • The vehicle is driven a certain distance while the vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed limit sign by a certain speed or faster.

Do not enter signs

• A do not enter sign is displayed when all of the following conditions are met.

  • The vehicle speed is about 60 km/h (37 mph) or slower.

  • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes a do not enter sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle and the vehicle passes it.

Stop sign

• A stop sign is displayed when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The vehicle speed is about 65 km/h (40 mph) or slower.

  • The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) recognizes a stop sign as a sign targeted for your vehicle.

• When a certain period of time has elapsed since the stop sign was displayed, display of the stop sign stops.

• In the following cases, the excessive speed warning stops operating.

  • The vehicle speed is less than the speed of the displayed speed limit sign. (If the activation timing for the excessive speed warning is changed in the personalization features, the excessive speed warning stops operating when the vehicle speed is less than the changed vehicle speed.

  • A speed limit sign indication has been updated and the vehicle speed is lower than the updated indication.

  • Display of the speed limit sign stops.

• The warning indication is displayed at the same time the excessive speed warning sound is activated if the vehicle speed exceeds the speed indicated on the speed limit sign.

  Refer to Excessive Speed Warning (Search).

• If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or data recorded in the navigation system incorrectly recognizes the actual speed limit sign at a lower speed, the excessive speed alarm is activated even if the vehicle is driven at the legal speed.

The system may not operate normally under the following conditions.
