DRIVING
When in 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 press the
accelerator pedal to resume the prior set speed.
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 Park (P) is selected 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.
WARNING
ACC with LSF has limited braking capability and may not stop your vehicle in
time to avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal if the conditions require.
Canceling ACC
You can press the CANCEL button, or press the
brake pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, a beep sounds
and a message appears on the multi-information
display.
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by
pressing the RES/+ switch.
Press the MAIN button to turn the system off.
WARNING
Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.
