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.

The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance to a vehicle in front in the same laneand its speed relative to your vehicle’s speed.If the system judges that your vehicle is indanger of colliding against the vehicle almoststraight from behind, it gives you visual andaudible alarms (Forward collision warningfunction), increases the brake fluid pressure(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro-vides braking force assistance when you
depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assistfunction) to avoid frontal collision.When the risk of collision increases more, thesystem causes the brakes to work moderatelyto encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi-nent, it initiates emergency braking tomitigate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).Stop lamps are illuminated during automaticbraking.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
CAUTIONzCruise control (automa

Forward Collision Mitiga-tion System (FCM)
*
WA R N I N GzA driver is responsible for driving safely.The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused da
mages or to avoid collisions
as much as possible.The system is not intended to compensatefor driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-lessness or supplement a drop in visibilitydue to the rain and fog.It is never a substitute for your safe andcareful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.zThe FCM works to avoi
d frontal collisions
as much as possible.
However, the effect of
its operation varies
depending on situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con-ditions, road conditions, and steering,acceleration and braking operations, sothat the performanc
e the function can
deliver is not always the same.If your vehicle is in danger of collision,take all necessary
collision-evading
actions, such as de
pressing the brake
pedal strongly regardless of whether thesystem is activated or not.

E00635501104
If the system judges that there is a high risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,the system applies the brakes moderately toencourage you to apply the brakes. If the system judges that a collision is una-voidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.When the emergency braking control is trig-gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-ual and audible alarms like with the FCMalarm function.Once the emergency braking has worked, youare alerted to this by a message on the infor-mation screen of the multi-information dis-play.
CAUTIONzThis function does not work for a vehicle infront which is moving extremely slower thanyour vehicle.zUnder certain conditions, the audible alarmmay not work at all or may be scarcely audi-ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if yourvehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-essary collision-evading actions, such asdepressing the brake pedal strongly regard-less of whether the system is activated or not.
