STARTING AND DRIVING
413
The vehicle−to−vehicle distance is always set to “Long” when
the engine switch is turned on.
CAUTION
Select the vehicle−to−vehicle distance
considering traffic conditions. The approximate
vehicle−to−vehicle distance based on time
interval when driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) is
shown below :
“Long” about 50 m (about 164 ft.). . . . . . . .
“Middle” about 40 m (about 132 ft.). . . . . .
“Short” about 30 m (about 100 ft.). . . . . . .
If the vehicle speed is slower than 80 km/h (50 mph),
the distance will be shorter than the above.
During long downhill driving, the vehicle−to−vehicle
distance will be shorter than the selected distance.
(e) Braking control
Dynamic radar cruise control is not a collision avoidance
system. If an approach warning is activated, depress the brake
pedal to decelerate to ensure an appropriate
vehicle−to−vehicle distance.

Braking activated
Braking control is operating only when the vehicle−to−vehicle
distance control mode is selected and your vehicle speed
exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph).
If you are getting closer to the vehicle ahead at relatively higher
speed than those of the vehicle ahead or if engine braking
cannot be applied properly, braking control is automatically
activated. At this time, “BRAKE” flashes on the
multi−information display, indicating that the brakes are being
used.
