Adaptive Cruise Control

Other functions

■ "Brake more" warning
The "brake more" warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead vehi-
cle. This function warns the driver when it determines that the current level of deceleration
by automatic braking control is insufficient.
• When the 'brake more' function operates,
"Obstacle Detected" will be shown in the
pop-up screen area of the multi information
display, a lead vehicle indicator will flash,
and a buzzer will sound several short
beeps.
• When this function activates, depress the
brake pedal to decelerate and maintain a
correct following distance.
• If the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
• The "brake more" warning will not activate in the following situations.
- The accelerator pedal is depressed.
- The brake pedal is depressed.
• Even when the following distance is short, the "brake more" warning may
not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. (The two vehi-
cles are travelling at almost the same speed.)
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. (The following
distance is gradually increasing.)
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
• The "brake more" warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle
that is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersec-
tion or in traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than
your vehicle. EyeSight requires a speed differential in order to recognize a
potential obstacle and react to it.
