The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.The ACC can be selected between approxi-mately 40 km/h to 180 km/h.Yo u c a n s e t a n d i n i t i a t e t h e s p e e d c o n t r o lwhen driving at approximately 10-40 km/hwhile a vehicle in front is being detected. Inthis case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h.Setting to any speed outside this range doesnot cause the ACC to start the control.When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer soundis heard and the “SET” indicator lights up onthe screen. At the same time, the displayshowing the following distance setting andthe running-ahead vehicle symbol (only whenthe ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) isswitched to the in-control mode display.
NOTE
zEven if the ACC is in the activated statewhen the operation mode is set to “OFF”, thesystem does not automatically become acti-vated when the operation mode is set to“ON” next time.

NOTE
zThe ACC cannot start the control when anyof the following conditions is present. Youare alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.•When the vehicle speed is lower thanapproximately 10 km/h or 180 km/h orhigher.•When the vehicle is running at a speedbetween approximately 10 and 40 km/h andthe ACC is not detecting any vehicle infront.•When the ASC is in the OFF state.•When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.•When the selector lever is in a positionother than “D” (DRIVE).• While the brake pedal is being depressed.•When the parking brake is engaged.•When the system determines that its perfor-mance has been degraded due to contami-nants adhered to the sensor.•When there is any abnormality in the sys-tem.

There are two ways to increase the set speed.The set speed increases by 1 km/h every timeyou push up the “RES +” switch while theACC control is working. If you hold theswitch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5km/h increments.
When the accelerator pedal is depressedwhile driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarilybeyond the presently set speed.At the point where the vehicle speed is raisedto your desired speed, push down and releasethe “SET -” switch; the new speed is then setin the system.
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.The set speed decreases by 1 km/h every timeyou push down the “SET -” switch while theACC control is working. If you hold theswitch pushed down, the set speed decreasesin increments of 5 km/h.
To i n c r e a s e t h e s e t s p e e d

By using the “RES +” switch:
NOTE
zThere is some time lag between the setting toa new speed and actually accelerating to thatspeed.zSpeed setting operation is possible even inpresence of a vehicle in front. In this case,however, the set speed alone increases with-out actual acceleration taking place.
zWhen the switch is held pushed, a buzzersounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONzThe setting speed should be set up the suita-ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
NOTE
CAUTIONzThe ACC braking control and proximityalarm functions will not work while theaccelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
zThe set speed indication on the display turnsto “---” when the accelerator pedal isdepressed. This indication remains as long asthe pedal is in a depressed position.zThe ACC control at the original set speedresumes as soon as you release the accelera-tor pedal. Under certain conditions, however,the braking control and alarming functions ofthe ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.zSet speed adjustment is impossible while theaccelerator pedal is in a depressed position.

If you depress the brake pedal while the ACCcontrol is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle. At the point where the vehicle slows down toyour desired speed, push down the “SET -”switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-tem.
Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem-porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing thepedal automatically slows down the vehicleto the set speed and the ACC restarts its con-trol.
NOTE
zThere is some time lag between the setting toa new speed and actually decelerating to thatspeed.zIf there is a vehicle in front and your vehicleis following that vehicle at a speed lowerthan the set speed, the set speed alonedecreases with no actual deceleration takingplace.zWhen the switch is held pushed, a buzzersounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONzThe setting speed should be set up the suita-ble speed according to a situation.

After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placingthe system in the ‘standby state’) by pressingthe “CANCEL” switch or depressing thebrake pedal, you can resume the ACC controlat the originally set speed if you push up the“RES -” switch.
Every time you press the following distancesetting switch, the setting changes sequen-tially through three options “Long”, “Middle”and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after“Short”. The distance setting is reset whenthe operation mode is set to “OFF” or whenthe ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automaticallyset to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”next time.

The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance to a vehicle in front in the same laneand its speed relative to your vehicle’s speed.If the system judges that your vehicle is indanger of colliding against the vehicle almoststraight from behind, it gives you visual andaudible alarms (Forward collision warningfunction), increases the brake fluid pressure(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro-vides braking force assistance when you
depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assistfunction) to avoid frontal collision.When the risk of collision increases more, thesystem causes the brakes to work moderatelyto encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi-nent, it initiates emergency braking tomitigate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).Stop lamps are illuminated during automaticbraking.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
CAUTIONzCruise control (automa

Forward Collision Mitiga-tion System (FCM)
*
WA R N I N GzA driver is responsible for driving safely.The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused da
mages or to avoid collisions
as much as possible.The system is not intended to compensatefor driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-lessness or supplement a drop in visibilitydue to the rain and fog.It is never a substitute for your safe andcareful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.zThe FCM works to avoi
d frontal collisions
as much as possible.
However, the effect of
its operation varies
depending on situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con-ditions, road conditions, and steering,acceleration and braking operations, sothat the performanc
e the function can
deliver is not always the same.If your vehicle is in danger of collision,take all necessary
collision-evading
actions, such as de
pressing the brake
pedal strongly regardless of whether thesystem is activated or not.

E00635501104
If the system judges that there is a high risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,the system applies the brakes moderately toencourage you to apply the brakes. If the system judges that a collision is una-voidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.When the emergency braking control is trig-gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-ual and audible alarms like with the FCMalarm function.Once the emergency braking has worked, youare alerted to this by a message on the infor-mation screen of the multi-information dis-play.
CAUTIONzThis function does not work for a vehicle infront which is moving extremely slower thanyour vehicle.zUnder certain conditions, the audible alarmmay not work at all or may be scarcely audi-ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if yourvehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-essary collision-evading actions, such asdepressing the brake pedal strongly regard-less of whether the system is activated or not.
