Select the vehicle−to−vehicle distance con-
sidering traffic conditions. The approximate
vehicle−to−vehicle distance based on time
interval when driving at 88 km/h (55 mph)
is shown below:
LONG about 75 m (245 ft.). . . . . . . . . . .
MIDDLE about 50 m (165 ft.). . . . . . . . . .
SHORT about 30 m (100 ft.). . . . . . . . . .
If the vehicle speed is slower than 88
km/h (55 mph), the distance will be short-
er than the above.
During long downhill driving, the vehicle−
to−vehicle distance will be shorter than
the selected distance.
BRAKING CONTROL
Dynamic laser cruise control is not a colli-
sion avoidance system. If the approach
warning is activated, depress the brake
pedal to decelerate to ensure an appropri-
ate vehicle−to−vehicle distance.
If you are getting closer to the vehicle
ahead at a relatively higher speed than
that of the vehicle ahead or if engine
braking cannot be applied properly, brak-
ing control is automatically activated. At
this time, the display flashes.
Braking control is operating only when the
vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode
is selected and your vehicle speed ex-
ceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph). If the
speed decreases below about 40 km/h (25
mph), braking control will cease, requiring
the manual application of brakes.
CAUTION
Braking control will not ensure that
your vehicle will reduce speed ap-
propriately. You must depress the
brake pedal to slow down, ensuring
collision avoidance or that sufficient
vehicle−to−vehicle distance is main-
tained.
APPROACH WARNING
While you are cruising in the vehicle−to−
vehicle distance control mode, if the ve-
hicle ahead decelerates abruptly or if
another vehicle cuts in ahead of you, in-
adequate braking will make your vehicle
become closer to the vehicle ahead of you
and the display will flash and beep.
