■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or

You can temporarily increase th e vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
ACC with Low Speed Follow stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resume s an appropriate speed for keeping the
following-interval wh ile a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow
range.

than your vehicle, gradua lly increasing the interval
between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
