4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following
distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle
ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on downhill slopes.
● On 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.
● At entrances to freeways and highways
● When weather conditions are bad
enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog,
snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
● When there is rain, snow, etc. on the
front surface of the radar sensor or
camera sensor
● In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
● During emergency towing
● When an approach warning buzzer is
heard often
