CHANGING VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE
DISTANCE
You can select one of the following ve-
hicle- to- vehicle distances.
1. LONG
2. MIDDLE
3. SHORT
Each time you push the distance switch
briefly, the setting changes from LONG to
MIDDLE to SHORT and then back to
LONG. You can confirm the setting on the
display.
Your vehicle speed changes in proportion
to the speed of the vehicle ahead, main-
taining the selected distance. However, if
the vehicle ahead is slower, the selected
distance will be shorter than the desig-
nated distance.
When the vehicle- to- vehicle distance con-
trol mode is activated or the “READY”
indicator comes on, the vehicle- to- vehicle
distance setting can be changed.
The vehicle- to- vehicle distance is always
set to LONG when the ignition switch is
turned on.
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.
