WARNING
QBefore using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
ODriving safely is the sole responsi-
bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to
your surroundings.
OThe dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range provides driv- ing assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance pro- vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.

rectly detecting the vehicle ahead: P.342

• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: P.343
OSet the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con- ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-ble for checking the set speed.
OEven when the system is function-ing normally, the condition of the
preceding vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the con-dition observed by the driver.
Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely.
Relying solely on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an
accident, resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
OSwitch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off, using the cruise control main
switch when not in use.

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.
OAssisting the driver to measure fol-
lowing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism
that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can
assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.
OAssisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether
the following distance 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.
OAssisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range does not include
functions which will prevent 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.
QSituations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
ORoads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
OIn heavy traffic
OOn roads with sharp bends
OOn winding roads
OOn slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
OOn steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp
up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set
speed when driving down a steep hill.
OAt entrances to freeways and high- ways
OWhen weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

3365-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem 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 vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined 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 over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle 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 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 system then returns to
constant speed cruising.

1 Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake
pedal does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
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.
QWarnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
 When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
 Immediately after the cruise con-
trol speed was set

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 vehi-
cle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
QDynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range can be set when
OThe shift lever is in D.
OThe desired set speed can be set
when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 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 approximately 30 km/h [20 mph].)
QAccelerating 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 preced-
ing vehicle.
QWhen the vehicle stops while fol-
low-up cruising
OPressing the “+RES” switch while the
vehicle ahead stops will resume fol-
low-up cruising if the vehicle ahead
starts off within approximately 3 sec-
onds after the switch is pressed.
OIf the vehicle ahead starts off within 3
seconds after your vehicle stops, fol-
low-up cruising will be resumed.
QAutomatic cancelation of vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled in the
following situations.
OVSC is activated.
OTRC is activated for a period of time.
OWhen the VSC or TRC system is
turned off.
OThe sensor cannot detect correctly
because it is covered in some way.
OWhen the brake control or output
