Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
NOTE
l
When the ACC system is in the stationary
vehicle hold state, the stop lamps will illumi-
nate.
l
While the ACC system is in the stationary
vehicle hold state, the vehicle will not start
moving again unless you press the switch or
depress the accelerator pedal.
l
If the turn-signal lever is operated while the
6
ACC is active, the system may accelerate the
vehicle to assist you in passing a vehicle in
front.
l
If the vehicle in front starts moving within 2
seconds after stopping, your vehicle will
start moving.
While the ACC system is in the stationary
vehicle hold state, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will operate if the operation
conditions are met even if you do not de-
press the brake pedal.
Refer to "Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system"
on page 6-24.
When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle
in front, a buzzer sounds and the symbol of
vehicle running ahead disappears from the
screen. The vehicle is slowly accelerated to
resume the set speed and continues running at
that speed.

Starting and driving
WARNING
l
Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set
speed in the following situations. Apply
the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
•
When your vehicle no longer follows
the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway ex-
it or when your vehicle or the vehicle in
front changes its lane.
•
When driving on a curve
l
If the vehicle in front turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle is lo-
cated in front of that vehicle, the ACC
will not make deceleration control to the
stationary vehicle.
OGKE18E1
Proximity alarm
While the ACC is active, if your vehicle ap-
proaches too closely to a vehicle in front be-
cause the ACC cannot allow for an adequate
deceleration in such cases as rapid decelera-
tion of the vehicle in front or apparition of a
vehicle cutting in front of your vehicle, the
ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer
and displaying a message.
If this happens, increase the following dis-
tance by depressing the brake pedal or mak-
ing other decelerating control.
CAUTION
l
When the ACC is not in use, turn off the
system to prevent it from operating by mis-
take and an unexpected accident.
l
Never operate the ACC from outside the ve-
hicle.
l
Neither control nor a warning are performed
in the following situation.
•
Something other than a vehicle ap-
proaches, such as a pedestrian.
