When the ACC no longer detects any vehiclein front, a buzzer sounds and the symbol ofvehicle running ahead disappears from thescreen. The vehicle is slowly accelerated toresume the set speed and continues running atthat speed.
E00634701079
While the ACC is active, if your vehicleapproaches too closely to a vehicle in frontbecause the ACC cannot allow for an ade-quate deceleration in such cases as rapid
deceleration of the vehicle in front or appari-tion of a vehicle cutting in front of your vehi-cle, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying a message.If this happens, increase the following dis-tance by depressing the brake pedal or mak-ing other decelerating control.
CAUTIONzNever leave the vehi
cle during stopping by
automatic braking.WA R N I N GzYo u r v e h i c l e m a y a c c e l e r a t e u p t o t h e s e tspeed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.
•When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or the vehicle in frontchanges its lane.•When driving on a curve.zIf the vehicle in fron
t turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle islocated in front of that vehicle, the ACCwill not make deceleration control to thestationary vehicle.

CAUTIONzWhen the ACC is not in use, turn off the sys-tem to prevent it from operating by mistakeand an unexpected accident.zNever operate the A
CC from outside the
vehicle.zNeither control nor a warning are performedby the following situation.•Something other than vehicle such as apedestrian.•When there is abnormality in the system(When the ACC detected abnormality,“ACC SERVICE REQUIRED” is indi-cated.)

zThe ACC makes neither acceleration nordeceleration control and only issues warningin the following situation.•The vehicle in front is in a park or movingat an extremely slow speed.
zThe ACC may not be able to maintain the setspeed or the distance to a vehicle in front andmay not alert the driver, if the system cannotdetect the front vehicle properly in the fol-lowing situations.• When a vehicle enters in front of your vehi-cle very closely.•When a vehicle in front is offset to the leftor right.•When a vehicle in front is towing a trailer.•The vehicle in front is moving at a speedmuch lower than your vehicle.•A motorcycle or a bicycle.•A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-tainer.•The vehicle has a protruding load from thecarrier.•The vehicle has a low vehicle height.•The vehicle has an extremely high groundclearance.•When there is repeated steep uphill anddownhill driving.•When driving on an
irregular or uneven

Wi t h t h e A C C tu r ned on ( i n th e ‘ s t an dbystate’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.When your desired speed is reached, releasethe “SET -” switch; then this speed is set andthe ACC initiates the speed control to the setspeed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.The ACC can be selected between approxi-mately 40 km/h to 180 km/h.Yo u c a n s e t a n d i n i t i a t e t h e s p e e d c o n t r o lwhen driving at approximately 10-40 km/hwhile a vehicle in front is being detected. Inthis case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h.Setting to any speed outside this range doesnot cause the ACC to start the control.When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer soundis heard and the “SET” indicator lights up onthe screen. At the same time, the displayshowing the following distance setting andthe running-ahead vehicle symbol (only whenthe ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) isswitched to the in-control mode display.
NOTE
zEven if the ACC is in the activated statewhen the operation mode is set to “OFF”, thesystem does not automatically become acti-vated when the operation mode is set to“ON” next time.

NOTE
zThe ACC cannot start the control when anyof the following conditions is present. Youare alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.•When the vehicle speed is lower thanapproximately 10 km/h or 180 km/h orhigher.•When the vehicle is running at a speedbetween approximately 10 and 40 km/h andthe ACC is not detecting any vehicle infront.•When the ASC is in the OFF state.•When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.•When the selector lever is in a positionother than “D” (DRIVE).• While the brake pedal is being depressed.•When the parking brake is engaged.•When the system determines that its perfor-mance has been degraded due to contami-nants adhered to the sensor.•When there is any abnormality in the sys-tem.

There are two ways to increase the set speed.The set speed increases by 1 km/h every timeyou push up the “RES +” switch while theACC control is working. If you hold theswitch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5km/h increments.
When the accelerator pedal is depressedwhile driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarilybeyond the presently set speed.At the point where the vehicle speed is raisedto your desired speed, push down and releasethe “SET -” switch; the new speed is then setin the system.
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.The set speed decreases by 1 km/h every timeyou push down the “SET -” switch while theACC control is working. If you hold theswitch pushed down, the set speed decreasesin increments of 5 km/h.
To i n c r e a s e t h e s e t s p e e d

By using the “RES +” switch:
NOTE
zThere is some time lag between the setting toa new speed and actually accelerating to thatspeed.zSpeed setting operation is possible even inpresence of a vehicle in front. In this case,however, the set speed alone increases with-out actual acceleration taking place.
zWhen the switch is held pushed, a buzzersounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONzThe setting speed should be set up the suita-ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
NOTE
CAUTIONzThe ACC braking control and proximityalarm functions will not work while theaccelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
zThe set speed indication on the display turnsto “---” when the accelerator pedal isdepressed. This indication remains as long asthe pedal is in a depressed position.zThe ACC control at the original set speedresumes as soon as you release the accelera-tor pedal. Under certain conditions, however,the braking control and alarming functions ofthe ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.zSet speed adjustment is impossible while theaccelerator pedal is in a depressed position.

If you depress the brake pedal while the ACCcontrol is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle. At the point where the vehicle slows down toyour desired speed, push down the “SET -”switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-tem.
Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem-porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing thepedal automatically slows down the vehicleto the set speed and the ACC restarts its con-trol.
NOTE
zThere is some time lag between the setting toa new speed and actually decelerating to thatspeed.zIf there is a vehicle in front and your vehicleis following that vehicle at a speed lowerthan the set speed, the set speed alonedecreases with no actual deceleration takingplace.zWhen the switch is held pushed, a buzzersounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONzThe setting speed should be set up the suita-ble speed according to a situation.
By using the brake pedal:
NOTE
zThe ACC control is ca

the brake pedal and the ACC control doesnot resume even when you release the pedal.
