4-5. Using the driving support systems
Dynamic radar cruise con-
trol
This dynamic radar cruise control
detects the presence of vehicles
ahead, determines the current
vehicle-to-vehicle distance, and
operates to maintain a suitable dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead. The
desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance can be set by operating the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
Use the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol only on highways and express-
ways.
■ For safe use
● Driving safely is solely the responsibil-
ity of the driver. Do not overly rely on
this system, and pay careful attention
to the surrounding conditions in order
to ensure safe driving.
● The dynamic radar cruise control pro-
vides driving assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following items carefully. Do
not overly rely on this system and always
drive carefully.
Conditions under which the system may
not operate correctly: P.290
● Set the speed appropriately according
to the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for confirm-
ing the set speed.
● Even if the system is operating cor-
rectly, the condition of a preceding
vehicle as recognized by the driver
and detected by the system may differ.
Therefore, it is necessary for the driver
to pay attention, assess risks, and
ensure safety. Over-reliance on this
system to drive the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■ Precautions for the driving assist sys-
tems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system. Over-reliance
on this system may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
● Details of support provided for the
driver’s vision
The dynamic radar cruise control is only
intended to help the driver in determin-
ing the distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated preceding
vehicle. It is not a system which allows for
careless or inattentive driving, and is not
a system which assists in poor visibility
conditions.
The driver must pay attention to their
surroundings, even when the vehicle
stops.
● Details of support provided for the
driver’s judgement
The dynamic radar cruise control deter-
mines whether the distance between the
driver’s own vehicle and a designated
preceding vehicle is within a set range. It
is not capable of making any other type
of judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger.
