Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch to turn off the ACC.
With the ACC turned on, push down the “SET -” switch while driving, and when your vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain the set speed. The set indicator comes on, the set speed is indicated and the following distance indicator changes to the ‘active’ display. Also a buzzerwill sound.
You can set the speed
anywhere from approx-
imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h). While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), you can activate the ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
NOTE
 Every time the operation mode is turned to the “OFF” position, the ACC is turned off.

The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto- matically when the system judges braking isnecessary. The distance
can be selected from
three levels.
When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply th
e brakes to stop your
vehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and your vehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi-cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
• When an abnormality in the ACC system has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system
will automatically
apply the brake to maintain the vehicle set speed.
When ACC detects a vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your ve
hicle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warning buzzer will sound,the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control wi
ll be canceled.
 When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.  During the automatic braking, operation sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.

While the ACC is activa
ted, if your vehicle is
approaching too closel
y to the vehicle in
front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the
appropriate distance to
the vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necess
ary, to slow down.
• When your vehicle no longer follows the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicl
e or the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative speed to a vehi
cle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-matic driving system or
as a collision avoid-
ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicleor a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path

and the FCM judges that th
ere is the risk of a
collision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically apply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or
reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestrian too
closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is activated or not.Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.
