your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC will automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn- ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained. Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

While the ACC is turned on, indicators for the ACC are shown in the multi information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand th
e limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or an automatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited brak
ing and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will
apply the brakes auto-
matically when the system judges braking isnecessary. The distance can be selected from three levels.
When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop your vehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and your vehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi-cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
• When an abnormality
in the ACC system
has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automaticallyapply the brake to main

by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force.  During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.

a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.
 When the vehicle in
