WARNING
Deceleration control by the adaptive
cruise control is limited. Therefore,
you are requested to pay enough
attention for safety driving, by check-
ing the surrounding traffic always
and operating brake pedal and/or
accelerator pedal as necessary.
The adaptive cruise control has the follow-
ing four controls.
(1) Constant-speed control
(There is no vehicle ahead)
EXAMPLE
Your vehicle cruises at the set speed.
• The vehicle speed can be set between
40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.
(2) Deceleration control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going slower than the set speed)
EXAMPLE
Your vehicle slows down, and maintains
the same speed as the speed of the vehi-
cle ahead to maintain the following dis-
tance.
• Possible detecting distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle ahead is
within about 100 m (328 ft).
(3) Following control
(A vehicle ahead is within radar range
and going at a steady speed)
54P000342
EXAMPLE
Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead,
keeping a constant distance, without
exceeding the set speed.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
• When your vehicle is getting close to the
vehicle ahead while deceleration control
or following control is functioning, a fron-
tal collision warning is activated.
• When operating brake pedal during fol-
lowing control, you might feel that a
brake is heavy. However, this is normal
in the brake system. This occurs
because of the feature of adaptive cruise
control.

(4) Acceleration control
(A vehicle ahead goes out of range)
The adaptive cruise control accelerates
your vehicle to the set speed, and then
maintains it.
