The headlights automatically come on when the wipers are used several times within
a certain intervals with the headlight switch in AUTO.
The headlights automatically go off a few minutes later if the wipers are stopped.
The headlights, all other exterior lights, and the instrument panel lights turn off 15
seconds after you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), take the remote with
you, and close the driver's door.
If you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) with the headlight switch on, but
do not open the door, the lights turn off after 10 minutes (three minutes, if the
switch is in the AUTO position).
The lights turn on again when you unlock or open the driver’s door. If you unlock
the door, but do not open it within 15 seconds, the lights go off. If you open the
driver’s door, you will hear a lights on reminder chime.■

uuWhen DrivinguAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
*
358Driving
■There is no vehicle ahead
When driving at 22 mph (35 km/h) or above:
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with LSF accelerates your
vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.
When driving under 22 mph (35 km/h) and no
vehicle is detected ahead: ACC with LSF
automatically cancels. The beeper sounds once.
■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal,
the system resumes the set speed.■A vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with LSF range and stops
Your vehicle also stops, automatically. The
Stopped message appears on the multi-
information display.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again,
the vehicle icon on the multi-information
display blinks. If you press the RES/+/SET/–
switch up or down, or depress the accelerator
pedal, ACC with LSF operates again within the
prior set speed.A vehicle icon with dotted-line
contour appears on the multi-
information display
1When in Operation
Limitations
Use the brake pedal to maintain a safe distance with
other vehicles in the following cases. ACC with LSF
may not work properly when:•A vehicle ahead of you is parked when your vehicle
is moving.•Motorcycles or other small vehicles are ahead of
you.•A vehicle cuts in front of you at a short distance.
ACC with LSF may momentarily apply brakes or
sound a beep if there is a vehicle, or even a building,
next to you if:•You make a sudden turn or drive on a narrow road.•You abruptly move the steering wheel.•You are in an unusual position within your lane.
When your vehicle stops automatically because a
vehicle detected ahead of you has stopped, the
distance between the two vehicles will vary based on
the ACC with LSF distance setting, as follows:
Short: 11.5 ft (3.5 m)
Middle: 14.1 ft (4.3 m)
Long, Extra Long: 16.4 ft (5.0 m)
