The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance
varies in accordance with the vehicle
speed. Also, when the vehicle is
stopped by system control, it will be
stopped at a certain distance from the
preceding vehicle, depending on the
situation, regardless of the setting.
■Operating conditions
●D shift position is selected.
●The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more. (If the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approximately 30 km/h [20
mph], the set speed will be set to approximately 30 km/h [20 mph].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehi-cle speed
As with normal driving, acceleration can
be performed by depressing the acceler-
ator pedal. After accelerating, the vehi- cle will return to the set vehicle speed. However, while in vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease to below the set vehicle speed in order to maintain the distance
from the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle is stopped by system control during follow-up cruising
●When the “RES” switch is pressed while the vehicle is stopped by system
control, if the preceding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds, follow-up cruising will resume.
●If the preceding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds of the
vehicle being stopped by system con- trol, follow-up cruising will resume.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
In the following situations, vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode will be canceled automatically:
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support
system operates (For example: Pre- Collision System, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by sys-tem control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are detected while the vehicle is stopped by system control:
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened • The driver’s door is opened• Approximately 3 minutes have

mended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air tempera-
ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is selected.
