Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
within 400 ft. (120 m) ahead and to judge the distance between your
vehicle and those vehicles.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
■ Changing the vehicle- to-vehicle distance
Each push of the switch changes
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Long
Medium
Short
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance
is automatically set to the long
mode when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is
switched to IGNITION ON
mode.
A mark will be displayed to indi-
cate the presence of the vehicle
if a vehicle is running ahead of
you.

Intuitive parking assist∗
The distance to obstacles measured by the sensors is communicated via
the multi-information display and a buzzer when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage. Always check the surrounding area when
using this system.
For vehicles equipped with a navigation system, refer to the separate
“Navigation System Owner’s Manual” for further details.

The display and buzzer system■ Corner sensor operation displa y and distance to an obstacle
The system operates when the vehicle approaches within approxi-
mately 1.6 ft. (50 c m) of an obstacle.
Approximately 1.6 ft. (50 cm) to
1.2 ft. (37.5 cm) from the obsta-
cle
Approximately 1.2 ft. (37.5 cm)
to 0.8 ft. (25 cm) from the
obstacle
Flashing: Within 0.8 ft. (25 cm)
of the obstacle
■Intuitive parking assist switch
ON/OFF
When ON, an indicator on the
switch comes on to inform the
driver that the function is opera-
tional.

Back sensor operation display and distance to an obstacle
The system operates when the vehicle approaches within approxi-
mately 4.9 ft. (150 cm) of an obstacle.
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
to 2.0 ft. (60 cm) from the
obstacle
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm) to
1.5 ft. (45 cm) from the obstacle
Approximately 1.5 ft. (45 cm) to
1.2 ft. (35 cm) from the obstacle
Flashing: Within 1.2 ft. (35 cm)
of the obstacle
■ Buzzer operation and di stance to the obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the corner sensors and back sensor are oper-
ating.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the obsta-
cle, the buzzer sounds continuously.
•Corner sensors: Approximately 0.8 ft. (25 cm)
• Back sensors: Approximately 1.2 ft. (35 cm)
● When two or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the
buzzer system responds to the nearest obstacle.
● If multiple obstacles are detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) in front and
behind the vehicle at the same time, the warning buzzer will change
in the following manner:
• If a continuous beep is sounding, and a new obstacle is detected
near a different area of the vehicle, the warning buzzer will sound
6 beeps then one continuous beep.
• If a continuous beep is sounding, and a new obstacle is detected within 0.8 ft. (25 cm) of a different area of the vehicle, the warn-
ing buzzer will sound 2 beeps then one continuous beep.
