When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not 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
●At the instant the accelerator is applied
When constant speed control mode is sele cted, your vehicle will maintain a set
speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance. Select this mode only
when vehicle-to-vehicle distance contro l mode does not function correctly due
to dirt etc.
Press the “ON/OFF” button to acti-
vate the cruise control.
Press the button again to deactivate the
cruise control.

While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes the 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 has deviated from its lane, it alerts the driver
using a buzzer and indications on the multi-information display.
