69TB-01E
Conditions under which the system
may not operate correctly
In the following situations, operate the
brake pedal (or accelerator pedal, depend-
ing on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly
detect a vehicle, the system may not oper-
ate properly.
• When a preceding vehicle brakes sud-
denly
• When changing lanes at low speeds,
such as in a traffic jam
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 warn-
ing 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 dis-
tance control needs to operate, such as
when a preceding vehicle cuts in front of
your vehicle, the curve speed reduction
function will be canceled.
