STARTING AND DRIVING
429
(j) Approach warning
While you are cruising in the vehicle−to−vehicle distance
control mode, if the vehicle ahead decelerates abruptly or if
another vehicle cuts in ahead of you, inadequate braking will
make your vehicle become closer to the vehicle ahead of you
and the display will flash and beep.
CAUTION
If the display flashes and beeps, you must depress
the brake pedal to slow down to avoid a collision or
maintain sufficient vehicle−to−vehicle distance.
In the following conditions, the approach warning
may not turn on even if the vehicle drives closer to the
vehicle ahead, and an accident may occur:
Your vehicle and the vehicle ahead are cruising at
almost the same speed.
The vehicle ahead is cruising at a faster speed than
yours. (The distance between the vehicles will
become longer.)
The vehicle ahead is at a stop or driving very slowly.
Pay special attention to a very slow vehicle at the end
of the line in heavy traffic or at a tollgate.
The speed has just been set.
The accelerator pedal is depressed or has just been
released.
(k) Laser radar sensor
The laser radar sensor is used for vehicle−to−vehicle
distance control cruising.
If dirt is on the sensor glass, the dynamic laser cruise
control function is automatically cancelled and a warning
code appears on the display. (See “(l) Vehicle−to−vehicle
distance control mode failure warning” on page 430.)
However, if the glass sensor is covered with icicle or any
substance, dirt may not be detected.
Before using the vehicle−to−vehicle distance control
mode, make sure the laser radar sensor glass is clean.
This product is a class I laser product complied with
21 C.F.R part 1040.10. and 1040. 11.
