This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance button.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler- ates your vehicle. When a greater reductio n in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to
changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach wa rning warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your ve hicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pushing the cruise control lever upor depressing the accelerator peda l will resume follow-up cruising.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed is dis-
played.
Increases the speed
(Except when the vehicle has been stopped by system control in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode)
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever up or
down to change the speed, and release
when the desired speed is reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be increased
or decreased as follows:
For Europe
Fine adjustment: By 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: Increases or decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2
increments for as long as the lever is held
Except for Europe
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is
operated
Large adjustment: Increases or decreases in 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*1 or 5 mph (8 km/h)*2
increments for as long as the lever is held
In the constant speed control mode ( P. 337), the set speed will be increased
or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: The speed will continue to change while the lever is held.
*1: When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
*2: When the set speed is shown in “MPH”

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move
the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in the
desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2 each time the lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be incr eased or decreased continually until the
lever is released.
*1: When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
*2: When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Pulling the lever toward you cancels
the constant speed control.
The speed setting is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes the
constant speed control.
However, resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).

Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
disable the Stop & Start system.
The Stop & Start cancel indicator will
come on. Pressing the switch again will enable theStop & Start system and the Stop & Start
cancel indicator will turn off.
■Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch, it
will be automatically enabled when the engine switch is turned off, and then to
the engine started.
■If the Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed
●When the engine is stopped by the St op & Start system, pressing the Stop
& Start cancel switch will restart the engine.
●With the Stop & Start system disabl ed, pressing the Stop & Start cancel
switch will enable the system but no t stop the engine. From the next time
the vehicle is stopped (after the Stop & Start system has been enabled), the
engine will be stopped.
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the vehicle is on an
incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling backwards until
the engine is restarted and drive force is generated. When drive force is gener-
ated, the maintained brake force is automatically canceled.
●This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.
●Sound may be generated from the brak es, but this is not a malfunction.
●Brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur, but these are not
malfunctions.

■Air conditioning system while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system
●If the air conditioning system is being used in automatic mode, the fan speed may be reduced or the fan may be stopped while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem in order to reduce changes in the cabin temperature.
●To ensure air conditioning system performanc e when the vehicle is stopped, disable the Stop & Start system by pressing the Stop & Start cancel switch.
■Changing the idling stop time with the air conditioning system on
The length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air conditioning system
is on can be changed on the ( P. 109) or (P. 110). (The length of time the Stop
& Start system will operate when the air condit ioning system is off cannot be changed.)
■The Stop & Start system protection function
●When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the audio sys- tem may be automatically cut off in order to reduce battery consumption. If this occurs,
turn the engine switch off, wait for 3 seconds or longer and then turn it to ACCES- SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode to re-enable the audio system.
●The audio system may not be activated when the battery terminals are disconnected
and then reconnected. If this occurs, turn the engine switch off and then repeat the fol- lowing operation twice to activate the audio system normally.
• Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode and then to OFF.
