Driving
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while 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 vehi cles ahead driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise co ntrol is not possible, the display will
flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this
would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a
vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instance s, there is a possibility that the warnings will not
occur:
●When the speed of the vehicle ahea d matches or exceeds your vehi-
cle 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


Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range supplements conven-
tional cruise control with a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. In vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode, th e vehicle automatically accelerates,
decelerates or stops in order to ma intain a set following distance from
vehicles ahead. See cautions on P. 266

speed.
While the vehicle is in vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control mode, if the lever
is released when vehicle speed is less
than 30 mph (50 km/h) and a vehicle
ahead can be detected, the vehicle
will start following the vehicle ahead at
a set speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed is
displayed.
Increases the speed
(Except when the vehicle has been
stopped by system control in vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode)
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in
the desired direction.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be increased or
decreased as follows:• When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 mp h (1.6 km/h) each time the lever is
operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) for each 0.75 seconds
the lever is held
• When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 0.6 mph (1 km/h) each time the lever is
operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 3.1 mph (5 km/h) for each 0.75 seconds
the lever is held
In the constant speed control mode ( P. 262), the set speed will be increased or
decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the lever is oper-
ated
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continually until
the lever is released.

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is set
automatically to lo ng mode when the
power switch is turned to ON mode.
If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the
preceding vehicle mark will also be
displayed.
Select a distance from the table belo w. Note that the distances shown cor-
respond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance increases/decreases in accordan ce with vehicle speed. When the
vehicle is stopped by system control, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance will
be about 10 ft. (3 m) to 16 ft. (5 m) re gardless of the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance setting.

Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
the driver using beeping, screen displays and a sensory warning
* given
via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the direction of
the center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function• This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode of the cruise control ( P. 239) is set with vehicle speed
above approximately 45 mph (72 km/h) and while the lane depar-
ture warning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist fu nction is active, a slight steering
torque will be applied, to help the driver maintain the vehicle inside
the lane.
The lane keeping assist function will be temporarily canceled if the steering
wheel is not operated, or if you continue driving with your hands lightly touch-
ing the steering wheel. ( P. 2 7 5 )
