tions:
●The driver’s doo r is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat
belt.
If any of the cond itions above are
detected when the brake hold sys-
tem is enabled, the system will turn
off and the brake hold standby indi-
cator light will go off. In addition, if
any of the conditions are detected
while the system is holding the
brake, a warning buzzer will sound
and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. The park-
ing brake will then be set automati-
cally.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released
for a period of about 3 minutes
after the system has started hold-
ing the brake, the parking brake

case, a warning buzzer sounds
and a message is shown on the
multi-information display.
●To turn the system off while the
system is holding the brake, firmly
depress the brake pedal and
press the button again.
●The brake hold function may not
hold the vehicle when the vehicle
is on a steep incline. In this situa-
tion, it may be ne cessary for the
driver to apply the brakes. A warn-
ing buzzer will sound and the
multi-information display will
inform the driver of this situation. If
a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the
instructions.
■When the parking brake is set

Driving
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration crui sing and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected runni ng ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle s peed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you st ops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is
stopped by system control). Afte r the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not pe rformed, system
control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t o a left lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h ) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler-
ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constan t speed cruising.
1Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise
control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indi-
cator will come on and a message
will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. Press the switch
again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
If the cruise cont rol main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds
or more, the syste m turns on in constant speed control mode.

■Detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects)
The detection range of the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) differs from the detection
range of the intuiti ve parking assist.
(  P.276) Therefore, even if the intu-
itive parking assist detects an object
and provides a warning, the Parking
Support Brake function (static
objects) may not start operating.

the brake pedal is released
the engine will remain
stopped.
 If the accelerator pedal is
depressed while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start
system, the engine will
restart.
 While the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system, if
the engine is restarted, the
brake hold system will con-
tinue to apply the brakes,
unless the operation condi-
tions of the brake hold system
are no longer met. ( P.207)
■When the dynamic radar
cruise control with full-
speed range is operating

When the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system when
the vehicle is on an incline,
when the brake pedal is
released, brake force is tempo- rarily maintained to prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards
before the engine is restarted
and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated,
the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.

This function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
 Sound may be generated
from the brake system, but
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may
change and vibration may
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
