4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
● Set the speed appropriately
according to the speed limit,
traffic flow, road conditions,
weather conditions, etc. The
driver is responsible for confirm-
ing the set speed.
Even if the system is operating
●
correctly, the condition of a pre-
ceding vehicle as recognized by
the driver and detected by the
system may differ. Therefore, it
is necessary for the driver to
pay attention, assess risks, and
ensure safety. Over-reliance on
this system to drive the vehicle
safely may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious
injury.
■ Precautions for the driving
assist systems
Observe the following precau-
tions, as there are limitations to
the assistance provided by the
system. Over-reliance on this sys-
tem may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious
injury.
● Details of support provided for
the driver's vision
The dynamic radar cruise control
is only intended to help the driver
in determining the distance
between the driver's own vehicle
and a designated preceding vehi-
cle. It is not a system which allows
for careless or inattentive driving,
and is not a system which assists
in poor visibility conditions.
The driver must pay attention to
their surroundings, even when the
vehicle stops.
● Details of support provided for
the driver's judgement
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the distance
between the driver's own vehicle
and a designated preceding vehi-
cle 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.
● Details of support provided for
the driver's operation
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which
will prevent or avoid collisions
with vehicles ahead of your vehi-
cle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver
must take immediate and direct
control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure
safety.
■ Situations in which the
dynamic radar cruise control
should not be used
Do not use the dynamic radar
cruise control in the following situ-
ations. As the system will not be
able to provide appropriate con-
trol, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
● Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
● When driving on a highway or
expressway entrance or exit
● When the approach warning
sounds frequently
● Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly:
P.219
● Situations in which the lane may
not be detected: P.221
