play
*1
Extremely short (about 25 m (82
ft))
*1 Displays a pop-up image in the active driving display only when the driver operates the switch.
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.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
(To accelerate/decelerate using the
RES switch)
When the RES switch is pressed up
(SET+), the vehicle accelerates and
when the RES switch is pressed down
(SET-), it decelerates.
xPress and release immediately: 1
km/h (1 mph)
xPress and hold: 10 km/h (5 mph)
(To increase speed using accelerator
pedal)
Depress the accelerator pedal and
press the RES switch up (SET+) or
down (SET-) at the desired speed. If
the switch is not operated, the system
returns to the set speed after you
release your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
xThe warnings and brake control do
not operate while the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
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.
Cancelling the system
When the following operations are
performed, the MRCC system is
cancelled, and the MRCC set
indication (green) switches to the
MRCC standby indication (white) at
the same time.
xThe CANCEL switch is pressed. xThe brake pedal is depressed. x(Manual transmission)

x(Manual transmission)
xThe shift lever is shifted to neutral
(N) for a certain period of time.
xThe clutch is depressed for a
certain period of time.
xThe engine stalls. xThe front radar sensor cannot detect

or other inclement weather
conditions, or when the radiator
grille is dirty).
xThe parking brake is applied. xAny of the doors is opened. xThe driver's seat belt is unfastened. xThe operation frequency of the
braking by the MRCC control is high.
Resuming control
If the MRCC system is cancelled, you
can resume control at the previously
set speed by pressing the RES switch
and after all of the operation
conditions have been met.
NOTE
If the set speed is not indicated in the
display, the control does not resume
even if the RES switch is pressed.
Turning off the system
When the MRCC switch is pressed
while the MRCC is operating, the
MRCC turns off.
▼Shift-up/Shift-down Request
Display (Manual Transmission)
The shift-up or shift-down request
display might be displayed while the
MRCC is operating. When this occurs,
shift gears because the gear position is
not appropriate.
Request Indication on display
Shift up Shift Up to a Higher Gear
Shift down Shift Down to a Lower Gear
NOTE
xIf the gears are not shifted up even
though the shift-up request
indication is displayed, load will be
applied to the engine and the MRCC
might be automatically cancelled or
engine damage could occur.
xIf the gears are not shifted down
even though the shift-down request
indication is displayed, the MRCC
might be automatically cancelled or
engine stalling could occur.
