WARNING
Set the speed appropriately depend-
●
ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
Even when the system is functioning
●
normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system
may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, the
driver must always remain alert, assess
the danger of each situation and drive
safely. Relying on this system or assum-
ing the system ensures safety while
driving can lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●
Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range off using the
cruise control main switch when not in
use.

Cautions regarding the driving assist
systems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Assisting the driver to measure follow-
ing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to help
the driver in determining the following
distance between the driver's own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows
careless or inattentive driving, and it is
not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions. It is still neces-
sary for driver to pay close attention to
the vehicle's surroundings.
4-5. Using the driving support systems
●
Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether the
following distance between the driver's
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is
not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
Assisting the driver to operate the
●
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range has limited capability to
prevent or avoid a collision with a vehicle
traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is
ever any danger, the driver must take
immediate and direct control of the vehi-
cle and act appropriately in order to
ensure the safety of all involved.
■
Situations unsuitable for dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range in any of the follow-
ing situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate
speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
Roads where there are pedestrians,
●
cyclists, etc.
●
In heavy traffic
●
On roads with sharp bends
●
On winding roads
On slippery roads, such as those cov-
●
ered with rain, ice or snow
