4-5. Using the driving support systems  Dynamic radar cruise control Summary of functions Without accelerator pedal operation by the driver, in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates and decelerates in accor- dance to the changes in speed of the preceding vehicle. In constant speed con- trol mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Page 258 4-5. Using the driving support systems 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 suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Page 259 4-5. Using the driving support systems Setting the vehicle speed (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode) Press the “ON/OFF” button to acti- vate the cruise control. Radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display. Press the button again to deactivate the cruise control.

Page 335 4-6. Driving tips ◆ When braking Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slowing down. ◆ Delays Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Page 336 4-6. Driving tips ◆ Luggage Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel economy. ◆ Warming up before driving Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary.
