• Even when the following distance is short, the "Obstacle Detected" warning
may not activate in the following situations.
- The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. The two vehicles
are traveling at almost the same speed.
- The vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle. The following dis-
tance is gradually increasing.
- Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
- The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.

CAUTION
• After Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes to
a stop because the vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking func-
tion will be canceled immediately after stopping and the vehicle will start
creeping forward gradually (at the same time 3 intermittent beeps, 1 short
beep and 1 long beep will sound). Be sure to depress the brake pedal and
stop the vehicle completely.
Note that the vehicle is not maintained at a standstill position and will not
automatically start moving from a standstill position.
• Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Depress
the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, tem-
porary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- The brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started or the
outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking performance may
be reduced).
- In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may become wet and brak-
ing performance may be reduced.)
