To increase the set speed
There are two ways to increase the set speed.
By using the “RES +” switch:
The set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push up the “RES +” switch
while the ACC control is working. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed in-creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.
NOTEl There is some time lag between the setting
to a new speed and actually accelerating tothat speed.
l Speed setting operation is possible even in
presence of a vehicle in front. In this case, however, the set speed alone increases with-
out actual acceleration taking place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.
At the point where the vehicle speed is raised
to your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the system.CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.NOTEl The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
l The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes as soon as you release the accelerator
pedal. Under certain conditions, however,
the braking control and alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.

NOTElSet speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To decrease the set speed
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.
By using the “SET -” switch:
The set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push down the “SET -”switch while the ACC control is working. If
you hold the switch pushed down, the set
speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph).
NOTEl There is some time lag between setting to a
new speed and actually decelerating to that
speed.NOTEl If there is a vehicle in front and your vehicle
is following that vehicle at a speed lower
than the set speed, the set speed alone de- creases with no actual deceleration taking
place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the brake pedal:
If you depress the brake pedal while the ACC
control is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle.
At the point where the vehicle slows down to
your desired speed, push down the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-tem.NOTEl The ACC control is cancelled if you depress
the brake pedal and the ACC control does
not resume even when you release the pedal.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

NOTE
l
Pressing the switch turns off the ACC even
if it is engaged.
l The set speed is cancelled when the ACC is
turned off or the operation mode is set to
“OFF”.
l If the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when the op-
eration mode is set to “OFF”, the system is set to the ‘OFF state’ when the operation
mode is set to “ON” next time. To resume the control
After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placing
the system in the ‘standby state’) by pressing
the “CANCEL” switch or depressing the
brake pedal, you can resume the ACC control
at the originally set speed if you push up the
“RES +” switch. NOTE
l
The
conditions to be met before the ACC
control can be resumed are the same as those for starting the ACC control. To change the following dis-
tance setting Every time you press the following distance
setting
switch, the setting changes sequential-
ly through three options “Long”, “Middle”
and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after “Short”. The distance setting is reset when
the operation mode is set to “OFF” or when the ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automatically
set to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”
next time. NOTE
l
The
following distance varies as a function
of the speed; the faster the set speed, the lon- ger the following distance. Following distance setting: “Long”
Following distance setting: “Middle”
Following distance setting: “Short”
To activate cruise control (auto-
matic speed control) If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switch
pressed
with the operation mode set to “ON”
and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruise control is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzer
sounds at the same time.
Cruise control is turned off if you set the op-
eration mode to “OFF”. Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

Blind Spot Warning (BSW)(with Lane Change Assist)* E00644300084
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when anothervehicle, which may not be visible through the outside rear-view mirror, is travelling in the
next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling at the same speed or faster in the detection areas, the Blind Spot Warning lamp in the
corresponding outside rear-view mirror will illuminate. If the turn-signal lever is operated
to the side where the Blind Spot Warning
lamp is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning lamp will blink and the system will beepthree times to alert the driver.
Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the
Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to
approximately 70 m from your vehicle.WARNINGl Before using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
l Never rely solely on the BSW system
when changing lanes. The BSW is an aidonly. It is not a substitute for your safe
and careful driving. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles. The performance of theBSW may vary depending on driving,
traffic and/or road conditions.Detection areas
E00644400115
The BSW uses 2 sensors (A) located inside
the rear bumper.
The detection areas are shown as illustrated.
WARNINGl In certain situations, the BSW may not
detect a vehicle in the detection areas or
the detection may be delayed. Some of these include:
• When a small motorcycle or a bicycle is
behind your vehicle.
