DYNAMIC LASER CRUISE CONTROL
OPERATIONS
The dynamic laser cruise control func-
tion operates automatically and depend-
ing on whether a vehicle is detected
ahead may change the speed of your
vehicle as follows.
If no vehicle is running ahead of you—
1. Cruising at a fixed speed: If there is
no vehicle detected ahead, your
cruising speed is maintained at the
preset speed from about 45 km/h (28
mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph). The
preset speed is displayed in the
display. For the vehicle speed setting,
see “SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED”
on page 185.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you—
2. Deceleration cruising function: If a
slower moving vehicle is detected
ahead of you, your vehicle cruising
speed decreases within the range of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) to about 135
km/h (85 mph). The display shows the
preset speed, the detected vehicle
ahead and selected vehicle−to−vehicle
distance. If your vehicle gets closer to
the vehicle ahead because of insuffi-
cient automatic deceleration, then the
alarm warns you to also manually ap-
ply brakes.
3. Follow−up cruising function: After de-
celeration, your vehicle cruising speed
changes in proportion to the speed of
the vehicle ahead to maintain an ap-
propriate distance from your vehicle to
the vehicle ahead. The vehicle−to−ve-
hicle distance can be changed. For de-
tails, see “CHANGING VEHICLE−TO−
VEHICLE DISTANCE” on page 187.
4. Acceleration cruising function:
If the
vehicle ahead changes lanes, your ve-
hicle cruising speed will be gradually
increased up to the preset speed, and
your vehicle resumes fixed−speed
cruising.
