OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
(2) Deceleration control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going slower than the set speed)
EXAMPLE
54P000343
Your vehicle slows down, and maintains
the same speed as the speed of the vehi-
cle ahead to maintain the following dis-
tance.
• Possible detecting distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle ahead is
within about 100 m (328 ft).
(3) Following control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going at a steady speed)
EXAMPLE
54P000344
Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead,
keeping a constant distance, without
exceeding the set speed.
3-33
NOTE:
• When your vehicle is getting close to the
vehicle ahead while deceleration control
or following control is functioning, a fron-
tal collision warning is activated.
• When operating brake pedal during fol-
lowing control, you might feel that a
brake is heavy. However, this is normal
in the brake system. This occurs
because of the feature of adaptive cruise
control system.
(4) Acceleration control
(A vehicle ahead goes out of range)
EXAMPLE
54P000345
The adaptive cruise control system accel-
erates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.
Situations where radar will not acti-
vate properly
WARNING
Do not use the adaptive cruise con-
trol system under the following situa-
tions. Otherwise, the system will not
function properly and unexpected
accidents may occur.
Under the following situations, there is a
high possibility that deceleration control,
following control and acceleration control
will not function properly, even if a vehicle
ahead is within radar range.
• When vehicle is driven in a traffic jam
• When vehicle is driven on sharp curves
• When vehicle is driven on slippery road
such as ice or snow-covered road
• When vehicle is driven on steep hill
EXAMPLE
54P000376
• When vehicle is driven on the road with
many steep uphills and downhills
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer
