During Operation
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and BrAKe appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
When a vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with
low speed follow range and stops, your vehicle also
stops. The Stopped message appears on the multi-
information display.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again, the vehicle icon on the multi-
information display blinks. Press reS/+/SeT/– up or down, or depress the
accelerator pedal to resume the prior set speed.
If your vehicle is stationary and there is no vehicle detected ahead of you, the

WARNING
exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with LSF system is
operating can result in the vehicle moving without operator control. Always
make sure the gear is in Park (P) before exiting the vehicle.
A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with LSF.

the prior set speed by pressing reS/+.
