DRIVING
During Operation
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle is detected cutting 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 slows to a stop, 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
system cancels and a beep sounds.
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.
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 conditions require.
Canceling ACC
You can press CANCEL, press MAIN, or depress 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 RES/+.
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.
