6-2. Using the safe driving support functions
When the preceding vehicle is trav-
eling at an extremely low speed
Immediately after the vehicle speed
has been set
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed
Curve speed reduction function
When a curve is detected, the vehicle
speed will begin being reduced. When
the curve ends, the vehicle speed
reduction will end.
Depending on the situation, the vehicle
speed will then return to the set vehicle
speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control needs to operate, such as
when a preceding vehicle cuts in front of
your vehicle, the curve speed reduction
function will be canceled.
Situations in which the curve speed
■
reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the curve
speed reduction function may not operate:
●
When the vehicle is being driven around
a gentle curve
When the accelerator pedal is being
●
depressed
●
When the vehicle is being driven around
an extremely short curve
Driver Monitor support function
(if equipped)
While a warning of the driver monitor
is being displayed, the vehicle acceler-
ation will be restrained.
When the warning of the driver moni-
tor disappears, the restrained acceler-
ation control will end.
Support for lane change
If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or
more and a lane change to the passing
lane is performed, when the turn signal
lever is operated and the lane is
changed, the vehicle will accelerate up
to the set speed to assist in overtaking.
The system's recognition of which lane is
the passing lane may be based solely on
the location of the steering wheel in the
vehicle (left-hand drive/right-hand drive). If
the vehicle is driven in a location where the
passing lane is on the opposite side of that
where the vehicle was originally sold, the
vehicle may accelerate when the turn sig-
nal lever is operated away from the passing
lane. (e.g. The vehicle was manufactured
for a right-hand traffic location, but is being
driven in a left-hand traffic location. The
vehicle may accelerate when the turn sig-
nal lever is operated to the right.)
If your vehicle is being driven at
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or
more and the lane is changed to that
with a vehicle traveling slower than
your vehicle, when the turn signal lever
is operated the vehicle will gradually
decelerate to assist in changing lanes.
