S (Sports mode) selectedVehicle in front tracking performance is given priority,
resulting in tracking with frequent changes in speed.
S# (Sports Sharp mode)
selected The same vehicle in front tracking as S (Sports mode) is
performed. The S# (Sports Sharp) response is provided
when the driver operates the accelerator pedal.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits. The vehicle is not equipped with a function
that helps maintain the vehicle’s standstill position without a driver’s operation.

WARNING
xThis system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
xDo not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to pre-
vent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following dis-
tance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
xSet the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
xThe system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
- The tire pressure is not correct.*
- The temporary spare tire is installed on any wheel.*
- Tires that are worn or have large variations in wear conditions are
installed.*
- Tires other than those of the designated size are installed.*
- An emergency repair is performed using the flat tire repair kit.
- The suspension has been modified.
- Tire chains are installed.
- The headlights are dirty or the optical axes are not aligned correctly.
(Objects are not correctly illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
- Vehicle operation has become compromised due to an accident or mal-
function.
- The brake warning light is illuminated.
- The vehicle is tilted due to a heavy cargo load.
- The maximum number of occupants and/or the gross vehicle weight rat-
ing has been exceeded.
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
*The wheels and tires have functions that are critically important. Be sure
to use the correct parts. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual for your
vehicle.
xAdaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. It is not
intended to be used in city traffic. In the following conditions, do not use
Adaptive Cruise Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
Depending on the driving environment (complexity of roads and other
factors), the system may not be able to perform as the traffic conditions
require, and that may result in an accident.
- Roads with sharp curves or winding roads
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.

 ŸContinued from previous page
- Traffic conditions when frequent acceleration and deceleration make it diffi-
cult to maintain the following distance
It may not be possible for the system to perform as the traffic conditions
require.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- Roads and overpasses with repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface may be
detected instead of the vehicle in front, making correct control impossible.
- When entering an interchange, service area, parking area, junction, toll
booth or other facility
Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
- When there are sudden changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance
or exit
- When visibility is poor due to sand, smoke or water vapor blowing in the
wind, or when the vehicle in front or oncoming traffic causes water, snow,
dirt or dust to obscure the view
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or water or other substances
may be incorrectly detected instead of the vehicle, making correct control
impossible.
- When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield or it is clouded
- When water droplets from rain or the window washer, or dirt has not been
fully wiped off the windshield
It may not be possible to detect the vehicle in front, making correct control
impossible.
- When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
