Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is designed to assist your driving using the display indications so that the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead can be maintained appropriately.
Do not rely completely on the DSA and always drive carefully:
The DSA may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road 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 surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a safe distance from a vehicle ahead or a vehicle following behind you.
