Driving
Each time the switch is pressed, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting will
change as follows:
If a preceding vehicle is detected, the pre-
ceding vehicle mark will be displayed.
The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance var-
ies in accordance with the vehicle speed.
Also, when the vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control, it will be stopped at a certain
distance from the preceding vehicle,
depending on the situation, regardless of
the setting.
■ Operating conditions
● The shift position is in D.
● The desired set speed can be set when
the vehicle speed is approximately 20
mph (30 km/h) or more.
• If the vehicle speed is set while driving at
below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h),
the set vehicle speed will be approxi-
mately 20 mph (30 km/h).
• If the vehicle speed is set while driving at
a speed that exceeds the system’s upper
limit, the set vehicle speed will be the sys-
tem’s upper limit.
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle
speed
As with normal driving, acceleration can be
performed by depressing the accelerator
pedal. After accelerating, the vehicle will
return to the set vehicle speed. However,
while in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the vehicle speed may decrease to
below the set vehicle speed in order to
maintain the distance from the preceding
vehicle.
■ When the vehicle is stopped by system
control during follow-up cruising
● When the “RES” switch is pressed while
the vehicle is stopped by system control,
if the preceding vehicle starts off within
approximately 3 seconds, follow-up
cruising will resume.
● If the preceding vehicle starts off within
approximately 3 seconds of the vehicle
being stopped by system control, fol-
low-up cruising will resume.
■ Automatic cancellation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
In the following situations, vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control mode will be canceled
automatically:
● When the brake control or output restric-
tion control of a driving support system
operates
(For example: Pre-Collision System,
drive-start control)
● When the parking brake has been oper-
ated
● When the vehicle is stopped by system
control on a steep incline
● When any of the following are detected
while the vehicle is stopped by system
control:
