WARNING
QCautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system. Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
O Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is only intended to help the driver in
determining the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a
designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows care-
less or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.
O Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control det ermines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is within a set range. It is not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain
vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of danger in
any given situation.
O Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control does not include functions which will pre-
vent or avoid collisions with vehicles ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, if
there is ever any possibility of danger, the driver must take immediate and
direct control of the vehicle and act appropriately in order to ensure the
safety of all involved.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an over-
taking lane while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will
accelerate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be deter-
mined solely based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left
side driver position versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven
to a region where the overtaking lane is on a different side from where the
vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn signal
lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the
driver normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane
is to the right but then drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the
left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.

Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the cruise control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, cruise control does not resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or less.
When your vehicle is too close to
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the
cruise control is not possible, the
display will flash and the buzzer
will sound to alert the driver. An
example of this would be if
another driver cuts in front of you
while you are following a vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-
vehicle distance.
QWarnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings may not occur even when the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
O When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
O When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
O Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
O When depressing the accelerator pedal

When this function is enabled and the system is operating in vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode ( P. 305), when a speed limit sign is
detected, the recognized speed limit will be displayed with an up/
down arrow. The set speed can be increased/reduced to the recog-
nized speed limit by pushing the lever up or down.
O When the current set speed is
lower than the recognized
speed limit
Push the lever up
O When the current set speed is
higher than the recognized
speed limit
Push the lever down
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist can be enabled/
disabled in on the multi-information display. ( P. 135)
When the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill, the vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed.
In this case, the displayed set vehicle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.

QDynamic radar cruise control can be set when
O The shift lever is in D. (Vehicles with automatic transmission)
O The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher. (Vehicles with manual transmission)
O Depending on the control mode, this item can be set at the following
speeds.
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more
• Constant speed control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
Q Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
Q Shift position selection (vehicles with manual transmission)
Select a shift position according to the vehicle speed. If the engine speed is
too high or too low, control may be automatically canceled.
