■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected
doing so, the ACC system maintains or decele rates your vehicle’s set speed in order
to keep the vehicle’s se t following-distance from the vehicle ahead.
2To Set or Change Following-Distance P. 455
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed comes in or cuts in front of you
and is detected by the radar, your vehicle
starts to slow down.
■When in Operation1 When in Operation
If the vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehi cle is detected cutting in
front of you, the beep er sounds and a message
appears on the multi- information display.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the distance betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start
accelerating your vehicle under the following
circumstances:
•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
•A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradually increasing the distance
between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle
detected in front of you co mes in and goes out of the
ACC detecting range. Change the ACC Forward
