your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC will automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn- ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained. Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

While the ACC is turned on, indicators for the ACC are shown in the multi information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand th
e limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or an automatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited brak
ing and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto-matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance
can be selected from
three levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped, the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi- cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your

FCC ID:OAYARS3-B (for vehicles sold in the U.S.A) IC: 4135A-ARS3B (for vehicles sold in theCanada) This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Ca
nada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s).Operation is subject to the following two con- ditions.  this device may not
cause harmful inter-
ference.
 this device must ac

N00577300040
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicl
e straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses a radar sensor (A) to determine the distance to a vehicle in front and relative speed to th
at vehicle. The FCM is
not designed as an automatic driving systemor as a collision
avoidance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle straight ahead in your path and the FCMjudges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakesimmediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the 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 automatic braking.
NOTE
 The conventional crui
se control does not
sound or display the approach alarm, will not adjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.

N00577400025
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,this function warns you of the potential haz- ard with visual and audible alarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. The FCM will also pr
epare to provide quick
brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700057
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate brak-ing to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed 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 actions 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.
