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.
Approach warning
In situations where the vehicle approaches a preceding vehicle and the system
cannot provide sufficient deceleration, such as if a vehicle cuts in front of the
vehicle, a warning display will flash and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Depress the brake pedal to ensure appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■ Warnings may not occur when
In the following situations, the warning may not operate even though the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is short.
●
When the preceding vehicle is traveling at the same speed or faster than your
vehicle
●
When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely low speed
●
Immediately after the vehicle speed has been set
●
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
Curve speed reduction function
When a curve is detected, the vehicle speed will
begin being reduced. When the curve ends, the
vehicle speed reduction will end.
Depending on the situation, the vehicle speed will
then return to the set vehicle speed.
In situations where vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
needs to operate, such as when a preceding vehicle
cuts in front of your vehicle, the curve speed reduction
function will be canceled.

In situations such as the following, the curve speed reduction function may not operate:
● When the vehicle is being driven around a gentle curve
