versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is no rmally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in th e 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 over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
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 syst em then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display. Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.188)

2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the switch is released becomes the set speed.
■Adjusting the set speed by the
switch
To change the set speed, press the
“+RES” or “-SET” switch until the

dance with vehicle speed.
1 Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
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 auto-
matic 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 follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.

vehicle matches or exceeds your

When constant speed control mode
is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode does not function correctly
due to a dirty radar, etc.
1 With the cruise control off, press
and hold the cruise control main
switch for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the switch is pressed, the dynamic radar cruise control indica-
tor will come on. Afterwards, it switches to the cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed control
mode is only possible when operating the switch with the cruise control off.
2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.

When the Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill,
the vehicle speed may exceed the

■Dynamic radar cruise control can
be set when
●Vehicles with Multidrive: The shift
lever is in D.
●Vehicles with manual transmission:
The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher.
●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
■Accelerating after setting the vehi-cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After accelerat-ing, the set speed resumes. However,
during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■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 automat-
ically canceled.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is automatically canceled in the follow- ing situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support
system operates. (For example: Pre- Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
●Vehicles with manual transmission: When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain
amount of time or more.
●The parking brake is operated.

approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
●VSC is activated.

■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly when (if
equipped)
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not operate
properly in conditions in which RSA may not operate or detect correctly ( P.197), when using this function,
make sure to check the speed limit sign displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed
may not be changed to the recognized speed limit by pressing and holding the “+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail-able
●When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the
dynamic radar cruise control system can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard
and the brake pedal response may change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver of the need for cau-
tion while driving. If a warning message is shown on the multi-information dis-play, read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P.159, 311)
■When the sensor may not be cor- rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend-
ing on the conditions, operate the brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the accelerator
pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P.187) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
