Under either of the following conditions,
however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In these
situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
The
CRUISE
CONTROL
switch is pressed.
The operation mode of the power switch
is put in OFF.
The cruise indicator goes off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)
(if so equipped)
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)
maintains a set speed with no need for you to
use the accelerator pedal. Using a sensor (A),
the system also measures the relative speed
and distance between your vehicle and a vehi-
cle in front, and maintains a set following dis-
tance between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front by automatically decelerating your vehi-
cle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in
front.
The cruising set speed can be set from 25
mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The
distance can be selected from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC
will automatically apply limited braking to
maintain the distance, and if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically
accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If
your vehicle is approaching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn-
ing is shown in the multi-information display.
When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the
ON/OFF
set speed will be maintained.
Conventional cruise control mode without the
distance control can also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) (if so equipped)
WARNING
Before using the ACC, read this entire sec-
tion to understand the limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructions
could result in an accident.
Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
not a collision avoidance system or an
automatic driving system. It is designed to
use only limited braking and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv-
ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes
manually.
NOTE
While the ACC is operating, the regenerative
braking level cannot be changed.
If you attempt to change the level, a buzzer
will sound.
If the ACC is turned on while the "B"
(REGENERATIVE BRAKE) position is
selected, the shift position will be automati-
cally changed to the "D" (DRIVE) position.
