Driving
When your vehicle is too close 
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi-
cient automatic deceleration via 
the cruise control is not possi-
ble, 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.
■Warnings may not occur 
when
In the following instances, warn-
ings may not occur even when 
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is 
small.
 When the speed of the pre-
ceding vehicle matches or 
exceeds your vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is 
traveling at an extremely slow 
speed
 Immediately after the cruise 
control speed was set 
When depressing the acceler-
ator pedal
When constant speed control 
mode is selected, your vehicle 
will maintain a set speed without 
controlling the vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance. Select this mode 
only when vehicle- to-vehicle dis-
tance 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 indicator will come on. After-
wards, it switches to the cruise con-
trol indicator.
Switching to const ant speed control 
mode is only possible when operat-
ing the switch with the cruise con-
trol off.

with accelerator pedal opera-
tion, to the desired vehicle 
speed (at or above approxi-
mately 20 mph [30 km/h])

■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 approx-
imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more. 
(However, when the vehicle speed 
is set while driving at below 
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h], 
the set speed will be set to 
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
■Accelerating after setting the 
vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by oper-
ating the accelerator pedal. After 
accelerating, the set speed 
resumes. However, during vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode, 
the vehicle spee d may decrease 
below the set speed in order to 
maintain the distance to the preced-
ing vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while 
follow-up cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while 
the vehicle ahead stops will 
resume follow-up  cruising if the 
vehicle ahead starts off within 
approximately 3 seconds after the 
switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off 
within 3 seconds after your vehicle 
stops, follow-up c ruising will be 
resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle d istance control 
mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control 
mode is automatically canceled in 
the following situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of 
time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is 
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect cor-
rectly because i t is covered in 
some way.
●When the brake control or output 
restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates. (For exam-
ple: Pre-Collision System, Drive-
Start Control)
●The center differe ntial lock/unlock 
is not completed within 5 seconds 
while the cruise control system is 
on.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system 
control on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when 
the vehicle has been stopped by 
system control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat  belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for 
about 3 minutes.

automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than 
approximately 10  mph (16 km/h) 
below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below 
approximately 20  mph (30 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of 
time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is 
turned off.
