When driving
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a laser radar sensor to detect the presence of
vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the
current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to main-
tain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control.
Example of deceleration cruising
When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automati-
cally decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed
is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you
when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle
from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

212 2-4. Using other driving systems
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehi cles ahead driving slower than
the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the dis-
play will flash and the bu zzer will sound to alert the driver. An exam-
ple of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
■ Warnings may not occur when
In the following instan ces, there is a possibility that the warnings
will not occur:
● When the speed of the vehicl e ahead matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● At the instant the accelerator is applied

When driving
■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control
The cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in the following sit-
uations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
● VSC is activated
● The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or more after operating
the front wheel drive control switch or the center differential lock switch.
(4WD models)
■ Laser radar sensor
■ Warning lights, messages and buzzers for dynamic laser cruise control
Warning lights, messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system mal-
function or to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving.
(P. 572)
■ Certification
Always keep the sensor clean to ensure
that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol operates properly. (Some obstruc-
tions, such as snow, ice and plastic
objects, cannot be detected by the
obstruction sensor.)
Dynamic laser cruise control is canceled
if an obstruction is detected.
This product is a class I laser product complied with 21C.F.R part 1040.10
and 1040.11.

When driving
CAUTION
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic laser cruise control
Do not use dynamic laser cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●In heavy traffic
● 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
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
● At entrances to expressways
● When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from functioning correctly (fog, rain, snow, sandstorm, direct sunlight,
etc.)
● When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

218 2-4. Using other driving systems
CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles
are in front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning ( P. 572) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious
accident may result.
● The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, which means that the
placement of the reflectors is in a higher position.
● The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty.
● The vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you are flinging up water or
snow.
● Excessive exhaust gas (black smoke) is coming from the vehicle ahead or
other vehicles around you, obscuring your front view.
● There is an obstruction (protective film, sticker, etc.) on the reflectors on
the vehicle ahead, or reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead or
are damaged.
● Heavy luggage in the luggage compartment or rear seats is causing the
nose of your vehicle to tilt up.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

When driving
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor unnecessarily detecting a vehicle
and/or object may increase under the following conditions:
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a guard-
rail, wall etc.
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a follow- ing vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are narrow and a vehicle driving 2 lanes across from your vehicle enters the detection area
■ The outside rear view mirror indicators visibility
When under strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be
difficult to see.
■ When there is a malfunction in the system
If a system malfunction is detected due to any of the following reasons,
warning messages will be displayed: ( P. 572)
● There is a malfunction with the sensors
● The sensors have become dirty
● The outside temperature is extremely high or low
● The sensor voltage has become abnormal
