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 if the vehicle in front has stopped, the stay-stopped function is
engaged. However, if the EyeSight stereo cameras lost detection of the
vehicle in front, the system may not stop your vehicle. Operate the brake
pedal and maintain the correct following distance as necessary. Be aware
that the EyeSight system has difficulty detecting objects or vehicles that
have a relative speed over 19 MPH (30 km/h) in comparison to your vehi-
cle. Therefore, if the EyeSight system loses detection just as you are
approaching a line of stopped cars, for example - you will have to brake
manually.
There is no possibility that the vehicle will automatically begin moving from
a stay-stopped condition without operation from the driver.
If the conditions for automatically canceling cruise control (*refer to page
35) are met while the vehicle is stay-stopped, Adaptive Cruise Control is
canceled and for safety reasons, the electronic parking brake is automati-
cally applied.
Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Oper-
ate 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 status (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, tem-
porary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When the brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started
or when the outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness may be reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may
become wet and braking effectiveness may be reduced)
- When the speed to potential obstacles is more than 19 MPH (30 km/h)
