Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detect ed vehicle slows to a stop, decelerates and
stops your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Important Reminder

and may not stop your vehicle in time to
avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly
stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

Driving
■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without

You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed . In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicl e is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it . Once you release the accelerator pedal,
the system resumes the set speed.
There are times when the vehicle speed will decrease when the accelerator pedal is
lightly applied.
■A vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with LSF range and slows to a stop
Your vehicle also stops, automatically. The
