Conditions for assistive driving power suppression.
• When the accelerator is no longer depressed.
• When the accelerator is depresse d for approximately four seconds.
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
Conditions for assistive braking cancellation.
• A certain amount of time has passed since activation.
The system may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
â– Examples of obstacles the sonar sensors cannot detect
• Obstacles that do not reflect sound waves well, such as people, snow, cloth,
sponges, etc.
• Thin obstacles such as fenc es, bicycles, sign posts, etc.
• Short or small obstacles.
• Obstacles immediately in front of the bumper.
• Obstacles that are not perp endicular to the ground.
• Moving objects or obstacles that suddenly enter the road.
â– Conditions for Cancellation
â– Low Speed Braking Control System Conditions and Limitations
1Conditions for Cancellation
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once,
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain
distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control ac tivates separately when
moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it
activates when moving forwar d, it can be activated
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in
order to activate assistiv e driving power suppression
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to
reset the system.

Driving
â– Examples of situations where the sonar sensors cannot detect obstacles
• The sonar sensors are dirty (cover ed by snow, water, mud, etc.).
• The vehicle is too hot or cold.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply when approaching the obstacle at an angle.
â– Examples of other cases where the system may not work correctly
• The vehicle is tilted due to heavy load or suspension modifications.
• Bad weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, sandstorms, etc.
• The ambient temperature/humidity is too high or low.
• When going down a very steep slope.
• When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or other objects that emit
ultrasonic waves.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorre ct sizes, varied sizes or construction,
improperly inflated, etc.).
â– Situations where the system may activate even without risk of a collision
• When passing through short or narrow gates.
• When driving on uneven surfaces, gr assy areas, or places with steps.
• When a sloped pillar or wall is protruding from a high position.
• When there are obstacles next to the road.
• When driving toward flags, curtains, tree branches, railroad crossing bars, etc.
• When driving on flooded roads.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
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 Low Speed Follo w slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
For directions on the prop er handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page. 2 Radar Sensor P. 570
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 568
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only when
driving on expressways or freeways and in
good road and weather conditions.
3WARNING
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
braking capability and may not stop your
vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a
vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
â– Vehicle speed for ACC wi th Low Speed Follow: A vehicle is detected ahead
within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with Low Speed Follow
operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range – ACC with
Low Speed Follow operates at the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
â– Shift position for ACC with Low Speed Follow: In ( D or .B

â– How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow
The radar sensor for ACC with Low Speed Follow is
shared with the Collision Mitigation Braking System

ACC with Low Speed Follow may not work properly
under certain conditions.
2 ACC with Low Speed Follow Conditions
and Limitations P. 521
When not using ACC with Low Speed Follow: Turn
off adaptive cruise by pressing the button.
Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:
•On roads with frequent la ne-change or continuous
stop and go traffic, ACC with Low Speed Follow
cannot keep an appropriate distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.
•On roads with sharp turns.•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.
•On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.),
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you properly.
•On roads with slippery or icy surfaces. The wheels
may spin out and your vehi cle may lose the control
on the condition.
•On roads with steep uphill or steep downhill slopes.•On roads with undulating slopes.
How to use
â– Press the button on the
steering wheel.

Driving
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the
pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− switch up or down when you reach the desired
speed. The moment you release the switch , the set speed is fixed, and ACC with
Low Speed Follow begins.
When you use ACC with Low Sp eed Follow, Straight Driving Assist (a feature of the
Electric Power Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automa tically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driv ing Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.
When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h): If the vehicle is moving
and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing 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 a vehicle whose sp eed is slower than
your set speed comes in or cuts in front of you
and is detected by the radar and the camera,
your vehicle starts to slow down.
A vehicle icon appears on the
gauge.
1 When in Operation
Even if the interval betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with Low Speed
Follow may start accelerati ng 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, 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
Low Speed Follow detecting range. A vehicle detect

â– 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 ve hicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow
accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.
On steep downhill during ACC with Low
Speed Follow, it brakes to inhibit excessive
acceleration for maintaining the set speed.
However, the vehicle speed may become
faster than the set speed.
â– 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 vehicle is in the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
ACC with Low Speed Follow stays on unle ss you cancel it. Once you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resume s an appropriate speed for keeping the
following-interval while a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow
range.
1 When in Operation
•ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily
control the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your
vehicle depending on the road conditions (e.g.,
curves) or vehicle condi tions (e.g., operating the
steering wheel or the vehicle location in the lane).
•When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such
as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC
with Low Speed Follow may continue to maintain
the set following-interval for a short time.
A vehicle icon with line contour
appears on the gauge.
