NOTE
•If a vehicle ahead is detected while travelling at a constant speed, the vehicle-ahead
indication is displayed and headway control is performed. Additionally, when a vehicle
ahead is no longer detected, the vehicle-ahead indication turns off and the system
switches back to travel at constant speed.

is 30 km/h (19 mph).
•Headway control is not possible if the vehicle ahead is driving faster than your vehicle's
set speed. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.
How to set the distanc e-between-vehicles during headway control
The distance-between-vehicles is set to a shorter distance by p ressing the switch. The
distance-between-vehicles is set to a longer distance by pressi ng the

How to change the set vehicle speed
To accelerate/decelerate using the SET
switch
When you press the SET
switch, the
vehicle accelerates and when you press the
SET
switch, it decelerates.
European
models Except Euro-
pean models
Short press 1 km/h (1 mph) 5 km/h (5 mph)
Long press 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
For example, the set vehicle speed is
changed by pressing the SET switch four
times as follows:
(European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
(Except European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 20 km/h (20 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press
and release the SET
switch or SET
switch at the desired sp eed. If the switch is
not operated, the syste m returns to the set
speed after you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
NOTE
•The setting speed can be changed by
operating the SET
switch or SET
switch during stop hold control.

•When accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set
vehicle speed can be adjusted but
acceleration is not possible. If there is
no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration
continues until reaching the set vehicle
speed. For the set vehicle speed, check
the set vehicle speed indication in the
display.
•When depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance indication in
the display changes to the white-line
indication.
•(European models)
When switching to a passing lane and
operating the direction indicator, the
system provides more acceleration
automatically if it determines that more
acceleration is required. Drive while
being careful of the road ahead because
you could approach the vehicle ahead
too closely.
Cancelling the system
When the following operations are
performed, the MRCC with Stop & Go

system, your vehicle
will stop when a vehicle ahead stops. When the vehicle is stopp ed and the stop hold control
operates, the MRCC with Stop & Go function indicator light turn s on.
NOTE
•If the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is cancelled during stop hold control, the
vehicle is held in its stopped position. The stop hold control can be cancelled by
performing one the following actions.
•Press the accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.
•While forcefully depressing the brake, switch the MRCC with Stop & Go function
system off.
•The electric parking brake (EPB) is automatically applied and the vehicle is held in its
stopped position when 10 minutes have elapsed since the stop hold control operated. At
this time, the MRCC with Stop & Go function system is cancelled.
•If the i-stop operation conditions are met du ring stop hold control, the engine stops even
though the brake pedal is not depressed.
Refer to i-stop on page 4-12.
•The brake lights turn on during stop hold control.
To resume driving
After the vehicle ahead starts moving while your vehicle is sto pped under stop hold control,
press the RES switch or depress the accelerator pedal to cancel the stop hold control and
resume driving.
NOTE
•When you resume driving by pressing the RES switch, your vehicle does not start moving
until the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead lengthens to the specified
distance or farther.
•The engine restarts automatically when any of the actions to resume driving are
performed while i-stop is operating.
•If the MRCC with Stop & Go function is temporarily cancelled during stop hold control,
you cannot resume driving by pressing the RES switch when there are no vehicles in front

Resume driving information
If you do not resume driving within a few seconds after the vehicle ahead starts moving, the
multi-information display vehicl e-ahead indication flashes to urge the driver to resume
driving.
▼ Cruise Control Function
While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is cancelled
and only the cruise control function
operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise c
ontrol function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle
traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)
Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is cancelled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
Switching to cruise control function
When the MODE switc h is pressed until
the system switches to the cruise main
indication (white) wh ile the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system is turned on,
the system switches to the cruise control
function.
When the system switches to the cruise
control function, the indicator and
multi-information disp lay notify the driver
as follows:
•The MRCC with Stop & Go function set
indication (green) or the MRCC with
Stop & Go function main indication
(white) is turned off, and the cruise main

could operate unexpectedly, resulting in an
accident.
How to set the speed
Adjust the system to the desired vehicle
speed using the accelerator pedal.
When the SET
or SET switch is
pressed, the cruise set indication (green) is
turned on and headway control begins.
NOTE
•The system may not be able to maintain
the set speed constantly depending on
driving conditions such as steep up or
down slopes.
•The speed will continue increasing while
the SET
switch is pressed and held.
The speed will continue decreasing
while the SET
switch is pressed and
held.
How to increase the set speed
The set speed can be increased using the
following operations:
To increase speed using the SET
switch
Press and hold the SET
switch and
release the switch at the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
increments) by pressing the switch and
releasing it immediately. For example, if
the switch is pressed 4 times, the set speed
increases by about 4 km/h (4 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press the
SET
or SET switch at t he desired
speed.
If the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you release
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
How to Decrease the Set Speed
Press the SET switch continuously and
release the switch a t the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
