Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ling very slowly, if the system determines that
the accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, a buzzer will sound
several short beeps, and “Obstacle Detected”
will be shown on the pop-up display area of
the multi information display. The lead vehicle
indicator will also flash.
This function only activates when the trans-
mission select lever is in the or posi-
tion.
WARNING
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid colli-
sions in many situations. Always check the selector lever and pedal
positions as well as the surrounding environment before starting and
operating the vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management could result in an accident.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this function will not reduce acceleration in
cases where no obstacle is recognized (for example when approaching a
cliff, etc.)
xDo not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there
are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.

Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver by means of a buzzer and the lead vehicle indicator on the
multi information display when the driver’s vehicle remains stopped after the vehicle in front
has started to move forward. When the vehicle in front remains stopped continuously (within
a following distance of approximately 32 ft (10 m) and the driver’s vehicle remains stopped
for several seconds or longer), the system continues to detect the vehicle in front and this
alarm activates if the vehicle in front advances approximately 10 ft (3 m) or more while the
driver’s vehicle remains stationary.
This function only activates when the select lever is in the , or position.
When the Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, a buzzer sounds a two-tone beep and the lead
vehicle indicator moves.
NOTE
xThe Lead Vehicle Start Alert setting can be turned on or off.
Ÿ Refer to page 89.
xUnder the following conditions, the Lead Vehicle Start Alert may activate
even when the vehicle in front has not started to move, or may not activate
even after the vehicle in front has started to move:
- A motorcycle or similar object has cut in between your vehicle and the
stopped vehicle in front.
- Weather or road conditions prevent detection of the vehicle in front.
- The EyeSight stereo cameras lose detection of the vehicle in front.

Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed that was set by the driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
About Conventional Cruise Control
WARNING
xWhen Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not per-
form tracking control to maintain following distance, as when using Adap-
tive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and operate the brake pedal to decelerate the vehi-
cle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
xUnder the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
You may fail to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road condi-
tions, possibly resulting in an accident.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
CAUTION
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the EyeSight display area to
confirm which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control.
xIf Adaptive Cruise Control is selected,
“” (Adaptive Cruise Control
indicator) illuminates.
xIf Conventional Cruise Control is selected,
“” (Conventional Cruise
Control indicator) illuminates.
NOTE
xWhen the (CRUISE) switch is first turned on, the Adaptive Cruise
Control is set.
xTo change the Cruise Control mode, press and hold the / (fol-
lowing distance setting) switch for approximately 2 seconds or longer.
(This is effective only when the main Cruise Control is on and neither
Adaptive Cruise Control nor Conventional Cruise Control are set.)
xConventional Cruise Control can be used even when EyeSight is tempo-
rarily turned off.
