■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when 
● The shift lever is in D. 
● The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately 
30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
(However,  when  the  vehicle  speed  is  set  while  driving  at  below  approxi- 
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approxima tely 30 km/h 
[20 mph].) 
■ 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-vehicl e  distance 
control  mode, the  vehicle speed may decrease  below  the set spee d in order 
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle. 
■ When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising 
● Pushing  the  lever  up  while  the  vehicle  ahead  stops  will  resume follow-up 
cruising  if  the  vehicle  ahead  starts  off  within  approximately  3   seconds  after 
the lever is pushed up. 
● If the vehicle ahead starts  off within 3  seconds after your vehicle stops, fol- 
low-up cruising will be resumed. 
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

PKSB (Parking Suppor t Brake)
■Parking Support Brake function (static objects) 
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect static objects, such as a  wall, 
in  the  detection  area  when  driving  at  a  low  speed  or  backing  up . 
( P. 485)
■Parking  Support  Brake  function  (rear-crossing  vehicles)  (if 
equipped) 
Rear radar sensors  are  used  to detect  approaching  vehicles in t he 
detection area behind the vehicle when backing up. ( P.   4 8 9 )
: If equipped
The  Parking  Support  Brake  system  consists  of  the  following 
functions  that  operate  when  driving  at  a  low  speed  or  backing 
up,  such  as  when  parking.  When  the  system  determines  that  a 
collision  with  a  detected  object  is  high,  a  warning  operates  to
urge  the  driver  to  take  evasive  action.  If  the  system  determine s 
that  the  possibility  of  a  collision  with  a  detected  object  is 
extremely  high,  the  brakes  are  automatically  applied  to  help
avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.
