While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.  During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed 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 or when your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if a stationary vehicleappears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working, you can accelerate the vehicle beyond thepresently set speed. When the vehicle spee
d reaches your desired
speed, push down and release the “SET -”
switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have no significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed

By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
 There is some time
lag until the vehicle
begins accelerating to
the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.  The set speed can be changed even while your vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however, although the set speed itself is increased,your vehicle will
not accelerate.
 When the switch is he
ld, a buzzer will sound
every time the set speed changes
By using the accelerator pedal:

WA R N I N G The ACC braking control and approach alarm functions will
not work while the
accelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
 The set speed indicator in the multi informa- tion display will show
“---” while the accel-
erator pedal is depressed.  If the “SET -” button is not pushed down while depressing the ac
celerator pedal, your
vehicle speed will return to the set speed, after the accelerator pedal is released. Whenthe accelerator pedal is released, the ACC braking control and approach alarm func- tions may not immediately work.

When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the fo
llowing distance indi-
cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’ display when a front vehicle is detected. In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzer sounds and a message is
shown in the multi-
information display.
 When your vehicle stops.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” or “Ds” position.  When the parking brake is engaged.  When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be dis- played in the multi information display.This can occur when • In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.• Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface of the radar sensor.• A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water,
snow or dirt.
• Driving on a nonbusy road with a fewvehicles and obstacles in front. • The brake pads are overheating.
NOTE
 The set speed indication on the display turns to “---” when the accelerator pedal isdepressed. This indication remains as long asthe pedal is in a depressed position.  In certain conditions, th

When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid- able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle in fr
ont. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a
vehicle too closely,
take all necessary ac
tions to avoid a colli-
sion, such as braking
and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.
