Set the speed appropriately
●
depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con-
ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-
ble for checking the set speed.
Even when the system is function-
●
ing normally, the condition of the
preceding vehicle as detected by
the system may differ from the con-
dition observed by the driver.
Therefore, the driver must always
remain alert, assess the danger of
each situation and drive safely.
Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures
safety while driving can lead to an
accident, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.

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 fol-
●
lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver's
own vehicle 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 condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
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 vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of
danger in any given situation.
