pedestrian approaches from behind or side of your vehicle
●In addition to the above, in some situ-ations, such as the following, the emergency steering assist may not
operate. • When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such as when they are
faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is cast upon them• When the lane is wider or narrower
than normal • When there is a light and dark pattern on the road surface, such as due to
road repairs • When a pedestrian is detected near the centerline of the vehicle
• When the target is too close • When there is insufficient safe or unobstructed space for the vehicle to
be steered into • If oncoming vehicle is present• If VSC function is operating
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, sufficient braking force or steering
force may not be obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:• If the braking functions cannot operate
to their full extent, such as when the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main-
tained (brakes or tires are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)• When the vehicle is being driven on a
gravel road or other slippery surface • When the road surface has deep wheel tracks
• When driving on a hill road • When driving on a road that has inclines to the left or right

Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, d etermines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distanc e may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appe ars
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 ti me). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order t o maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning war ns 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 sto p (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressin g the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will res ume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control con tinues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
