■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you ente rs the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected
doing so, the ACC system maintains or decele rates your vehicle's set speed in order
to keep the vehicle's se t following-interval from the vehicle ahead.
2To Set or Change Following-interval P. 611
■When in Operation1When in Operation
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds,
a message appears on th e driver information
interface.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate

When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed is detected in front of you, your
vehicle starts to slow down.1 When in Operation
Even if the interval betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start
accelerating your vehicle under the following
circumstances:
•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
•A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradua lly increasing the interval
between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC
detecting range. A vehicle detect beep on and off can
be selected. 2 Settings P. 138
2 Customized Features P. 390
Limitations
You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe
interval when using ACC. Additionally, ACC may not
work properly under certain conditions.

1When in Operation
•ACC may temporarily contro l the interval between
your vehicle and the vehicl e in adjacent lane or
surroundings of your vehicle depending on the
road conditions (e.g. curv es) or vehicle conditions
(e.g. operating the steeri ng wheel or the vehicle
location in the lane).
•When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such
as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC
may continue to maintain the set following-interval
for a short time.

■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC accelerates your vehicle to
the set speed, and then maintains it.
On steep downhill during ACC, it brakes to
inhibit excessive acceleration for maintaining
the set speed. However, the vehicle speed
may become faster than the set speed.

■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this ca se, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a ve hicle is in the ACC range.
ACC stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal, the
system resumes the set speed.
There are times when the vehicle speed will decrease when the accelerator pedal is
lightly applied.
The system may automatically shut off under certain conditions. Some examples of
these conditions are listed below. Other conditions may reduce some of the ACC
functions.
