Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF) *Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate
and stop your ve hicle, 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 betw een your vehicle and other
vehicles.3
WARNING 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.
3
WARNING 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
or ( S *

Driving ■ How to activate the system 1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF) *
When the MAIN button is pressed, both ACC with
LSF and the Lane Keeping A ssist 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. 525
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 ACC with LSF under the following
conditions:
• On roads with heavy traf fic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
• On roads with sharp turns.
• On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with LSF will not apply the brakes to
maintain the set speed.
• On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.How to use
■ Press the MAIN button on
the steering wheel.ACC (green) is on in the instrument panel.
ACC with LSF is ready to use.

Driving
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press the SET / – button when you reach th e desired speed. The moment
you release the button, th e set speed is fixed, and ACC with LSF begins.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing the button 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 driver information interface.
When you use ACC with LSF, Straight Driving
Assist (a feature of the Electric Power Steering
system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to
automatically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for
you to keep your vehicle in a straight line.■ To Set the Vehicle Speed 1 To Set the Vehicle Speed
You can switch the displayed set speed
measurements on the driver information interface or

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. 529
When a vehicle whose sp eed is slower than
your set speed is detected in front of you, your
vehicle starts to slow down.■ When in Operation 1 When in Operation
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, the beeper
sounds, a message appears on the driver information
interface, and the he ad-up warning lights *

Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
interval from the vehicle ahead.

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 vehi cle 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 the vehicle speed . In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicl e is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it . Once you release th e accelerator pedal,
the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the following interval while a
vehicle ahead is within the ACC with LSF range. 1 When in Operation
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
Vehicle Detect Beep setting.

Stopped message appears on the driver
information interface.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again,
the vehicle icon on the driver information
interface blinks. If you press the RES / + or SET /
– button, or depress the accelerator pedal,
ACC with LSF operates again within the prior
set speed.
If no vehicle is ahead of you before you
resume driving, depress the accelerator pedal
and ACC with LSF will operate again within
the prior set speed. 1 A vehicle detected ahead is with in ACC with LSF range and slows
to a stop

WARNING 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.
