follow-up cruising if the acceler-
ator pedal is depressed after the 
vehicle ahead of you starts off.
1Pressing the cancel switch 
cancels 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.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch 
resumes the cruise control 
and returns vehicle speed to 
the set speed. When your vehicle is too close 
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via 
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, 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 
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur 
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when

■The Parking Support Brake 
function (static object) will 
operate when
The function will op erate when the 
PKSB OFF indicato r is not illumi-
nated or flashing ( P.77, 79) and 
all of the followin g conditions are 
met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is  enabled.
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 9 mph  (15 km/h) or less.
• There is a static object in the trav- eling direction o f the vehicle and 
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) 
away.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger-than-nor-
mal brake operation is necessary 
to avoid a collision.
●Brake control
• Engine output restri ction control is 
operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an immediate brake 
operation is necessary to avoid a 
collision.
■The Parking Support Brake 
function (static objects) will 
stop operating when
The function will st op operating if 
any of the following  conditions are 
met:
●Engine output restriction control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
• The system determines that the 
collision has beco me avoidable 
with normal brake operation.
• The static object is no longer 
approximately 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) 
away from the vehicle or in the 
traveling directi on of the vehicle.
●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have  elapsed since the vehicle was 
stopped by brake control. • The brake pedal is depressed 
after the vehicle is stopped by

away from the vehicle or in the 
traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Detection range of the Parking 
Support Brake function (static 
objects)
The detection range of the Parking 
Support Brake function (static 
objects) differs from the detection 
range of the intuiti ve parking assist. 
(  P.275) Therefore, even if the 
intuitive parking assist detects an 
object and provides a warning, the 
Parking Support Brake function 
(static objects) may  not start operat-
ing.

cle at a traveling speed of approx-
imately 5 mph (8  km/h) or more.
• The shift lever is in R.
• The Parking Support Brake deter-
mines that a stronger than normal 
brake operation is necessary to 
avoid a collision with an approach-
ing vehicle.
●Brake control
• Engine output restri ction control is 
operating
• The Parking Support Brake deter- mines that an emergency brake 
operation is necessary to avoid a 
collision with an approaching vehi-
cle.

the vehicle.
■Detection area of the Parking 
Support Brake function (rear-
crossing vehicles)
The detection area of the Parking 
Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) differs from the detec- tion area of the RCTA function 
(
 P.267). Therefore, even if the 
RCTA function detects a vehicle 
and provides an alert, the Parking 
Support Brake function (rear-cross-
ing vehicles) may not start operat-
ing.

■Stopping the engine
While driving with the D shift 
position selected, depress the 
brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle. The engine will stop auto-
matically.
When the engine stops, the Stop & 
Start indicator will illuminate.
■Restarting the engine
Release the brake pedal. The 
engine will start automatically.
When the engine starts, the Stop & 
Start indicator  will turn off.
■When the brake hold sys-
tem is operating
 When the engine is stopped 
by the Stop & Start system, if 
the brake pedal is released 
the engine will remain 
stopped.
 If the accelerator pedal is 
depressed while the engine is 
stopped by the Stop & Start 
system, the engine will 
restart.
 While the engine is stopped 
by the Stop & Start system, if 
the engine is restarted, the 
brake hold system will con-
tinue to apply the brakes, 
unless the operation condi-
tions of the brake hold system 
are no longer met. ( P.204)
■When the dynamic radar 
cruise control with full-
speed range is operating
 When the vehicle is stopped 
by the dynamic radar cruise 
control with full-speed range, 
the engine will stop automati-
cally even though the brake 
pedal is not depressed.
 When the preceding vehicle 
starts off, the engine will 
restart automatically.
 If the engine is restarted by 
the Stop & Start system while 
the vehicle is stopped by the 
dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range, the 
vehicle will remain stopped.
Stop & Start system*
The Stop & Start system 
stops and starts the engine 
according to brake pedal or 
shift lever operation when 
the vehicle is stopped, such 
as at a stoplight, intersec-
tion, etc., in order to 
improve fuel economy and 
reduce noise pollution 
caused by the engine idling.

Press the Stop & Start cancel 
switch to disable the Stop & 
Start system. 
The Stop & Start cancel indica-
tor will illuminate.
Pressing the switch again will 
enable the Stop & Start system and 
the Stop & Start cancel indicator 
will turn off.
■Automatic enabling of the Stop 
& Start system
If the Stop & Start system is dis-
abled using the Sto p & Start cancel 
switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is 
turned off and then the engine is 
started.
When the engine is stopped by 
the Stop & Start system when 
the vehicle is on an incline, 
when the brake pedal is 
released, brake force is tempo-
rarily maintained to prevent the 
vehicle from rolling backwards 
before the engine is restarted 
and drive force is generated. 
When drive force is generated,  the maintained brake force is 
automatically canceled.
This function operates on flat 
surfaces as well as steep 
inclines.
 Sound may be generated 
from the brake system, but 
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
 Brake pedal response may 
change and vibration may 
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■Points for use

when the engine is stopped by the 
Stop & Start system, the engine 
will not be able to be restarted by 
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the 
engine using the normal engine 
starting procedure. ( P.191, 192)
●When the engine is being 
restarted by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power ou tlets may be 
temporarily unusable, but this 
does not indicate a malfunction.
