NOTE
xIf 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.
xHeadway control is not possible if the vehicle ahead is driving faster than the set speed.
Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal.

x(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.

NOTE
xThe distance between vehicles differs depending on the vehicle speed, and the slower the
vehicle speed, the shorter the distance.
xWhen the ignition is switched to ACC or OFF and then the engine is started again, the
system automatically sets the distance between vehicles to the previous setting.

NOTE
For example, the set vehicle speed is
changed by pressing the SET switch 4
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).

The warnings and brake control do not
operate while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
NOTE
xWhen 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. Check the set vehicle speed by
viewing the set vehicle speed display in
the multi-information display and the
active driving display.
xWhen depressing the accelerator pedal,
the inter-vehicle distance display in the
multi-information display changes to the
white-line display.
xThe minimum settable speed is 30 km/h
(19 mph). If the set vehicle speed
reaches 30 km/h (19 mph) using the
switch operation, constant speed travel
is maintained at about 30 km/h (19 mph)
even if the SET
switch is pressed. The
MRCC system is not cancelled.

Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
¾Roads 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)
¾Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)
¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tyres could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)
:KHQ'ULYLQJ
L$&7,96(16(


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.

Always turn off the cruise control function
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control function turned
on when it is not in use is dangerous as it
could operate unexpectedly, resulting in an
accident.

xIf the vehicle speed decreases by about
15 km/h (9.4 mph) or more than the set
speed, the cruise control function may
be cancelled.
xWhen the vehicle speed is less than 21
km/h (13 mph), the cruise control
function is cancelled. In this case, the
vehicle speed will not return to the
original set speed even if the vehicle is
accelerated to 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher and the RES switch is pressed.
Reset the cruise control function.

Do not rely completely on the MRCC with Stop & Go function:
The MRCC with Stop & Go function system has detection limitations depending on the type of
vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently to avoid hitting the vehicle
ahead if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into the driving
lane, which could result in an accident.
Always drive carefully and verify the surrounding conditions and depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal while keeping a safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go function system in the following locations, using the
MRCC with Stop & Go function system at the following locations may result in an unexpected
accident:
¾General roads other than highways (Driving under these conditions using the MRCC with
Stop & Go function system is not possible.)
¾Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffic is heavy and there is insufficient space
between vehicles.
