When driving
CAUTION
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic laser cruise control
Do not use dynamic laser cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
● At entrances to expressways

CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles
are in front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning ( P. 480) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious
accident may result.
● The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, which means that the
placement of the reflectors is in a higher position.
● The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty.
● The vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you are flinging up water or
snow.
● Excessive exhaust gas (black smoke) is coming from the vehicle ahead or
other vehicles around you, obscuring your front view.
● There is an obstruction (protective film, sticker, etc.) on the reflectors on
the vehicle ahead, or reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead or
are damaged.
● Heavy luggage in the luggage compartment or rear seats is causing the
nose of your vehicle to tilt up.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a follow- ing vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are narrow and a vehicle driving 2 lanes across from your vehicle enters the detection area
■ The outside rear view mirror indicators visibility
When under strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be
difficult to see.
