Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles

up to approximately 120 m (400 ft.) ahead, determines the current

vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit-

able following distance from the vehicle ahead.

Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long

downhill slopes.

When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-

vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-

tance control.

When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automati-

cally decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed

is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you

when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle

from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
