Driving
Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill,  the set vehicle 
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle 
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes  are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The 
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the 
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If 
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle 
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower 
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then 
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off:
If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (contr olled 
stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES” 
switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-u p 
cruising (start off operation). If a start off operation is not  per-

control.
Control will also be canceled if the 
brake pedal is depressed. (If the vehicle has been stopped by 
system control, depressing the 
brake pedal will no
t cancel control.)2Press the “RES” switch to 
resume control.
Each time the switch is pressed , the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set-
ting will change as follows:
If a preceding vehicle is detecte d, the preceding vehicle mark will be dis-
played.
The actual vehicle-to-vehicle di stance varies in accordance wit h 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
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set 
when the vehicle speed is approx-
imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
• If the vehicle speed is set while  driving at below approximately 20 
mph (30 km/h), the set vehicle  speed will be appr
oximately 20 
mph (30 km/h).
• If the vehicle speed is set while  driving at a speed that exceeds 
the system's upper limit, the set 
vehicle speed will be the system's 
upper limit.

■Accelerating after setting the 
vehicle speed
As with normal dri ving, acceleration 
can be performed by depressing the 
accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the vehicle will return to the set 
vehicle speed. However, while in 
vehicle-to-vehicle  distance control 
mode, the vehicle speed may 
decrease to below the set vehicle 
speed in order to maintain the dis-
tance 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, fol-
low-up cruising will resume.
●If the preceding vehicle starts off 
within approximately 3 seconds of 
the vehicle being stopped by sys-
tem control, follo w-up cruising will 
resume.
■Automatic cancellation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle d istance control 
mode
In the following  situations, vehi-
cle-to-vehicle dista nce control mode 
will be canceled  automatically:
●When the brake control or output 
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been 
operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by 
system 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 unfas- tened
• The driver’s door is opened
• Approximately 3 minutes have  elapsed since the vehicle was 
stopped The parking brake 
may be actived 
automatically.

■Preceding vehicles that the sen-
sor may not detect correctly
In the following situations, depend-
ing on the conditions, if the system 
cannot provide sufficient decelera-
tion or acceleration is necessary, 
operate the brake pedal or accelera-
tor pedal.
As the sensor may  not be able to 
correctly detect th ese types of vehi-
cles, the approach warning 
(  P.226) may not operate.
●When a vehicle cuts in front of 
your vehicle or changes lanes 
away from your vehicle extremely 
slowly or quickly
●When changing lanes
●When a preceding vehicle is driv-
ing at a low speed
●When a vehicle is stopped in the 
same lane as the vehicle
●When a motorcycle  is traveling in 
the same lane as the vehicle
■Conditions under which the 
system may not operate cor-
rectly
In the following situations, operate 
the brake pedal (or accelerator 
pedal, depending on the situation) 
as necessary.
As the sensor may  not be able to 
correctly detect a vehicle, the sys-
tem may not operate properly.
●When a preceding vehicle brakes 
suddenly
●When changing lanes at low 
speeds, such as in a traffic jam 
Page 226 of 468

2264-5. Using the driving support systems
In situations where the vehicle 
approaches a preceding vehicle 
and the system cannot provide 
sufficient deceleration, such as 
if a vehicle cuts in front of the 
vehicle, a warning display will 
flash and a buzzer will sound to 
alert the driver. Depress the 
brake pedal to ensure appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur 
when
In the following situations, the 
warning may not operate even 
though the vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance is short.
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at the same speed 
or faster than your vehicle
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at an extremely low 
speed
 Immediately after the vehicle 
speed has been set
 When the accelerator pedal is 
depressed
When a curve is detected, the 
vehicle speed will begin being 
reduced. When the curve ends, 
the vehicle speed reduction will 
end.
Depending on the situation, the  vehicle speed will then return to the 
set vehicle speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control needs to oper-
ate, such as when a preceding 
vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle, 
the curve speed reduction function 
will be canceled.
■Situations in which the curve 
speed reduction function may 
not operate
In situations such as the following, 
the curve speed reduction function 
may not operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven 
around a gentle curve
●When the accele rator pedal is 
being depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven 
around an extremely short curve
If your vehicle is being driven at 
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) 
or more and a lane change to 
the passing lane is performed, 
when the turn signal lever is 
operated and the lane is 
changed, the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the set speed to 
assist in overtaking.

lane is the passing lane may be 
based solely on the location of the 
steering wheel in the vehicle 
(left-hand drive/right-hand drive). If 
the vehicle is driven in a location 
where the passing lane is on the 
opposite side of that where the 
vehicle was originally sold, the 
vehicle may accelerate when the 
turn signal lever is operated away 
from the passing  lane. (e.g. The 
vehicle was manufactured for a 
right-hand traffic location, but is 
being driven in a left-hand traffic 
location. The vehicle may acceler-
ate when the turn  signal lever is 
operated to the right.)
If your vehicle is being driven at 
approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) or 
more and the lane is changed to 
that with a vehicle traveling slower 
than your vehicle, when the turn 
signal lever is operated the vehicle 
will gradually decelerate to assist in 
changing lanes.
 The settings of Dynamic radar 
cruise control can be changed 
through customize settings.

The vehicle can be driven at 
a set speed even if the 
accelerator pedal is not 
depressed.
Use the cruise control only 
on highways and express-
ways.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. 
Therefore, do not overly rely on 
this system. The driver is solely 
responsible for paying attention 
to the vehicle’s surroundings 
and driving safely.
●Set the speed appropriately 
according to the speed limit, 
traffic flow, road conditions, 
weather conditions, etc. The 
driver is responsible for confirm-
ing the set speed.
■Situations in  which cruise 
control should not be used
Do not use the cruise control in 
the following situ ations. As the 
system will not be able to provide 
appropriate control, using it may 
lead to an acciden t resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as 
those covered with rain, ice or 
snow
●On steep downhills, or where 
there are sudden changes 
between sharp up and down 
gradients

Operation of this system is sep-
arated into 4 control states. 
Emergency Driving 
Stop System
The emergency driving stop 
system is a system which 
automatically decelerates 
and stops the vehicle within 
its lane if the driver 
becomes unable to continue 
driving the vehicle, such as 
if they have suffered a medi-
cal emergency, etc.
During LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist) control, if the sys-
tem does not detect driving 
operations, such as if the 
driver is not holding the 
steering wheel, and deter-
mines the driver is not 
responsive, the vehicle will 
be decelerated and stopped 
within its current lane to 
help avoid a collision or 
reduce the impact of a colli-
sion.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving. The emer-
gency driving stop system is 
designed to provide support in 
an emergency where it is diffi-
cult for the driver to continue 
driving, such as if they have had 
a medical emergency. It is not 
designed to support driving 
while drowsy or in poor physical 
health, or inattentive driving.
●Although the emergency driv-
ing stop system is designed to 
decelerate the vehicle within its 
lane to help avoid or help 
reduce the impact of a collision 
if the system determines that it 
is difficult for the driver to con-
tinue driving, its effectiveness 
may change according to vari-
ous conditions. Therefore, it 
may not always be able to 
achieve the same level of per-
formance. Also, if the operating 
conditions are not met, this 
function will not operate.
●After the emergency driving 
stop system operates, if driving 
becomes possible again, imme-
diately begin driving again or, if 
necessary, park the vehicle on 
the shoulder of the road and set 
a warning reflecto r and flare to 
warn other drivers of your 
stopped vehicle.
●After this system operates, pas-
sengers should  attend to the 
driver as necessary and take 
appropriate hazard prevention 
measures, such as moving to a 
place where safety can be 
ensured, such as the shoulder 
of the road or behind a guard-
rail.
●This system detects the condi-
tion of the driver through the 
operation of the steering wheel. 
This system may  operate if the 
driver is aware but intentionally 
and continuously does not oper-
ate the vehicle. Also, the system 
may not operate if it cannot 
determine that the driver is not 
responsive, such as if they are 
leaning on the  steering wheel.
