Excessive Speed Warning (Some Models)
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving display, the warning sound is activated and the area around the speed limit sign displayed on the active driving display flashes 3 times in amber, and if the vehicle speed continues to exceed the displayed speed limit sign, the indication stops flashing and remains on.
Speed Limiter Warning Beep (Some Models)
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, a warning beep operates continuously. The warning beep operates until the vehicle speed decreases to the set speed or less.
If the set speed is set lower than the current vehicle speed by pressing the SET or RESUME/
switch, the warning beep is not activated for about 30 seconds even if the vehicle speed is faster than the newly set speed by 5 km/h (3 mph). Be careful not to drive over the set speed.
When the system is temporarily cancelled by depressing the accelerator pedal fully, the adjustable speed limiter (ASL) display shows the cancel display. If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 5 km/h (3 mph) or more while the cancel display is displayed, the set speed display flashes but the warning sound is not operated.
Collision warning (Some Models)
If there is a possibility of a collision with a vehicle ahead or an obstruction at the rear of the vehicle, the warning light in the instrument cluster flashes at the same time as the warning indication is displayed in the multi-information display or the active driving display, and a warning sound is activated intermittently.
