does not occur. This function can be used even when the stereo cameras have temporarily
stopped operating. (Refer to page 77.) (This function is used by switching from Adaptive
Cruise Control to Conventional Cruise Control.)
* Refer to page 65.
NOTE
EyeSight does not operate when the engine is not running.

ŸContinued from previous page
xEven when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following cases.
- When the speed difference compared to the vehicle in front is small (the
two vehicles are travelling at almost the same speed)
- When the vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle (the follow-
ing distance is gradually increasing)
- When another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle
- When the vehicle in front decelerated suddenly
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
CAUTION
xAfter Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes
to a stop because the vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking
function will be cancelled immediately after stopping and the vehicle will
start creeping forward gradually (at the same time three short beeps and a
single long beep will sound). Be sure to depress the brake pedal and stop
the vehicle completely.
Note that the vehicle is not maintained at a standstill position and will not
automatically start moving from a standstill position.
xBraking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Oper-
ate the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, tem-
porary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When the brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started
or when the outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness may be reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may
become wet and braking effectiveness may be reduced)
- When the speed to potential obstacles is more than 20 MPH (30 km/h)

Adaptive Cruise Control

WARNING
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on slippery roads. Doing so may result in
an accident.
CAUTION
If the selector lever is shifted to the position, the Adaptive Cruise Control
is automatically cancelled. However, do not shift the selector lever into the
position while driving except in an emergency. Doing so will eliminate the
engine’s tendency to brake the vehicle and may result in an accident.
