4-5. Using the driving support systems
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns
to constant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will
flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this
would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a
vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.

Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will
not occur:

When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your vehi-
cle speed

When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed

Immediately after the cruise control speed was set

At the instant the accelerator is applied
Selecting conventional constant speed control mode
When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain
a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance. Select this
mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode does not func-
tion correctly due to dirt etc.
