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 dis-
tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance 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 automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system
applies the brakes. A warning tone warns yo u when the system cannot decelerate suf-
ficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising wh ile adjusting for changes in the speed of
the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is no t possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An ex ample of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are followi ng a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure
an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a po ssibility that the warnings will not occur:
●When the speed of the vehicle 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
●As the instant the accelerator is applied

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane ma
rkers, this system recognizes the white
lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when the vehicle
deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts the driver
using beeping and indications on the multi-information display.
