Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehi-
cles up to approximately 120 m (400 ft.) ahead, determines the cur-
rent vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to
maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on
long downhill slopes.
