in the event of an accident or sudden stop,
make sure the driver and passengers
always wear the seat belts properly while
the vehicle is in motion.

Radar sensing misacceleration Mitigation System (RMS) (Forward)*

The RMS (Forward) operates to prevent sudden starts and mitigate collision-caused damages by suppressing the engine output for up to approxi-
mately 5 seconds when the system judges that the system is detected the vehicle or obstacles within approximately 4 m in front your vehicle and
judges that accelerator pedal was depressed promptly and too strongly such as misoperation of it. This system operates when the vehicle is at stop
or moving forward at speed less than approximately 10 km/h.
When the RMS (Forward) operates, the indicator lamp blinks in the instrument cluster, and the buzzer sounds intermittently.
