With the ACC turned on, push down the “SET -” switch while driving, and when your vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain the set speed. The set indicator comes on, the set speed is indicated and the following distance indicator changes to the ‘active’ display. Also a buzzerwill sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx- imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h). While a vehicle in front is being detected and your vehicle speed is
between approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), you can activate the ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).

When the front vehicl
e stops, the ACC will
automatically apply th
e 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.
NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warning buzzer will sound,the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control wi
ll 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.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necess
ary, to slow down.
• When your vehicle no longer follows the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.

While the ACC is activa
ted, if your vehicle is
approaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if
a stationary vehicle
appears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.

The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the appr
oach alarm in the fol-
lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When a malfunction is detected in the system.
The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases,
but will give the
approach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
The ACC may not be ab
le to maintain the
set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if the system cannot detect the front vehicleproperly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in front is a truck loadedwith freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.WA R N I N G
