This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current veh icle-
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suita ble fol-
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to- vehicle
distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle di stance
switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distanc e may
become shorter.
