uuWhen DrivinguAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
*
356Driving
When driving at 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the pedal and
press down the RES/+/SET/– switch when you reach the desired speed. The moment
you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with LSF begins.
When driving at slower than 25 mph (40 km/h): You can set the vehicle speed
only when there is a vehicle detected ahead of you. If the vehicle is moving and the
brake pedal is not depressed, pressing the switch fixes the set speed to 25 mph (40
km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If the vehicle is stationary, you can set the
vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.
When ACC with LSF starts operating, the
vehicle icon, distance bars and set speed
appear on the multi-information display. ■
To Set the Vehicle Speed
1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
*
When the MAIN button is pressed, ACC with LSF and
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are both turned on
or off.
Do not use ACC with LSF under these conditions:•In poor visibility (e.g., bad weather, such as rain,
fog, and snow).•When you must slow down and speed up
repeatedly.•On winding roads.•When you enter a toll gate, interchange, service
area, parking area, etc. In these areas, there is no
vehicle ahead of you, but ACC with LSF would still
try to accelerate to your set speed.•On a slippery road (for example a road covered
with ice or snow).•When a spare tire
* is installed.
•When going down a steep hill where the engine
braking does not work sufficiently.
When not using ACC with LSF: Turn off adaptive
cruise by pressing the MAIN button. This also will
turn off the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
1To Set the Vehicle Speed
You can switch the displayed set speed
measurements on the multi-information display
between mph and km/h.
