■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, op erate the brake pedal (or accelerator pedal,
depending on the situ ation) as necessary. As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system may not
operate properly.
●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage com- partment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your posi-
tion in the lane is unstable

■Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
●The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the obstacle, the
buzzer sounds continuously:
• Front center sensors: Appr oximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Corner sensors: Approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 35 cm (1.1 ft.)
●When 2 or more obstacles are detect ed simultaneously, the buzzer system
responds to the nearest obstacle. If on e or both come within the above dis-
tances, the beep will repeat a lo ng tone, followed by fast beeps.
Approximately 100 cm (3.3 ft.)
Approximately 150 cm (4.9 ft.)
Approximately 50 cm (1.6 ft.)
Approximately 60 cm (2.0 ft.)
The diagram shows the detection range
of the sensors. Note that the sensors
cannot detect obstacles that are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object etc.
