Driving
vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting will
change as follows:
If a preceding vehicle is detected, the
preceding vehicle mark will be dis-
played.
The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance
varies in accordance with the vehicle
speed. Also, when the vehicle is
stopped by system control, it will be
stopped at a certain distance from the
preceding vehicle, depending on the
situation, regardless of the setting.
■ Operating conditions
● The D shift position is selected.
● 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, follow-
up cruising will resume.
■ Automatic cancellation of vehicle-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
restriction 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 driver’s seat belt is unfastened
while driving
● When the Pre-Collision System is dis-
abled
● When the vehicle is stopped by system
control on a steep incline
