■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC with LSF monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with LSF range. If it
does, the ACC with LSF system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in
order to keep the vehicle’s set following distance from the vehicle ahead.2 To Set or Change Following Distance P. 359
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed comes in front of you and is
detected by the radar, your vehicle starts to
slow down.

distance from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is short, ACC with LSF may start
accelerating your vehicle under the following
circumstances:•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.•A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster than
your vehicle, gradually distancing itself from you.
If you do not want to hear a beep when the system
detects a vehicle, or when the vehicle goes out of the
ACC with LSF range, you can change the pre-running
detect car beep setting. 2 Customized Features P. 102, 263

■Automatic shutoff
FCW may automatically shut itself off and the FCW indicator comes and stays on when:
• The temperature inside the system is high.
• The windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
Once the conditions that caused FCW to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g.,
cleaning), the system comes back on.
1 Automatic shutoff
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera system to shut off,
when parking, find a shady area or face the front of the
vehicle away from the sun.
If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to
cover the camera housing. Covering the camera can
concentrate heat on the camera.
If the Can Not Operate: Camera Too Hot /CAN
NOT OPERATE message appears:•Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when
windows are fogged.•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the FCW camera.
Beep The camera is located
behind the rearview mirror.
The beeper sounds and the
BRAKE message
appears in the multi-information display until
a possible collision is avoided.
