Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, decelerates
and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle's brake
lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF.
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always
keep a safe interval between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead
to a crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on
expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with LSF has limited braking
capability and may not stop your vehicle
in time to avoid a co llision with a vehicle
that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the cond itions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at
the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Gear position for ACC with LSF: In ( D. The radar sensor is
in the front grille.
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.

■How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
When the MAIN button is pressed, both ACC with
LSF and the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are
either turned on or off.
ACC with LSF may not work properly under certain
conditions. 2 ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations
P. 407
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).
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist under the following
conditions:
•You are driving on a ro ad with sharp curves.
uThe system may not allow your vehicle to respond in
a manner best suited for the road conditions.
•You are entering a toll booth, interchange, service
area, or parking area.
uIf the vehicle ahead disappears from the travel path
of your vehicle, your vehi cle may suddenly accelerate
to resume the set speed.
•You are driving in bad we ather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
uThe system may not be able to correctly determine
the distance between yo ur vehicle and the one
ahead.
•The surface of the road is slippery, for example, it is

Driving
When driving at about 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 sp eed is fixed, and ACC with LSF begins.
When driving at slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pres sing the switch fixes the set speed to
about 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, interval bars and set speed
appear on the multi-information display.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
Driving
■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC with LSF monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with LSF range. If a
vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with LSF system maintains or decelerates your
vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the ve hicle’s set following-interval from the
vehicle ahead.
2 To Set or Change Following-Interval P. 410
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than your set speed is detected in front of
you, your vehicle starts to slow down.
■When in Operation1 When in Operation
If the vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if a nother vehicle is de tected cutting in
front of you, the beeper sounds, a message appears
on the multi-information display, and the head-up
warning come on.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
interval from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the interval betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with LSF may
start accelerating your ve hicle 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, gradua lly increasing the interval
between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with
LSF detecting range. Change the ACC Forward

Driving
■There is no vehicle ahead
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 you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase th e 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 an appropriate speed for keeping the following-interval while a
vehicle ahead is within the ACC with LSF range.
■A vehicle detected ahead is within AC C with LSF range and slows to a stop
Your vehicle also stop s, 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.

Limitations
You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe
interval when using ACC wi th LSF. Additionally, ACC
with LSF may not work properly under certain
conditions. 2 ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations

3WARNING
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped
while the ACC with LSF system is
operating can result in the vehicle
moving without operator control.
A vehicle that moves without operator
control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is
stopped by ACC with LSF.
