activate the cruise control.Radar cruise control indicator will come on
and a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
Press the button again to deactivate the
cruise control.
If the “ON/OFF” button is pressed and

2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h))
and push the lever down to set the
speed.Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever
is released becomes the set speed.
If the lever is operated while the vehicle
speed is below approximately 30 mph (50
km/h) and a preceding vehicle is present,
the set speed will be adjusted to approxi- mately 30 mph (50 km/h).
To change the set speed, operate the
lever until the desired set speed is dis-
played.
1 Increases the speed (Except when the vehicle has been
stopped by system control in vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode)
2 Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever up or
down to change the speed, and release
when the desired speed is reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows: 

After the vehicle ahead of you starts
off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off. 1 Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control. The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake pedal
does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed. However, when a vehicle ahead is not
detected, cruise control does not resume
when the vehicle speed is approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.Distance options Vehicle-to-vehicle

detected, the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range can be set even
if the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 30 mph (50 km/h).■
Accelerating after setting the vehicle
speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the
accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the
set speed resumes. However, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the
vehicle speed may decrease below the set
speed in order to maintain the distance to
the preceding vehicle. ■
When the vehicle stops while follow-up
cruising●
Pushing the lever up while the vehicle
ahead stops will resume follow-up cruis-
ing if the vehicle ahead starts off within
approximately 3 seconds after pushing
the lever up.●
If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 sec-
onds after your vehicle stops, follow-up
cruising will be resumed.■
Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) when there
are no vehicles ahead.●
The preceding vehicle leaves the lane
when your vehicle is following at a vehicle
speed at or below approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h). Otherwise, the sensor can
not properly detect the vehicle.

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident. ●
Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).●
The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●
Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
