How to Use the Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)

Operating the DSA

The DSA operates when the system determines that the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is close at a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster.

 

When the DSA operates, the screen display notifies the driver that the distance between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead is close.
