Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
CAUTION
• After Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes to
a stop because the vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking function
will be canceled immediately after stopping and the vehicle will start
creeping forward gradually (at the same time three short beeps and a single
long beep will sound). Be sure to depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle
completely. Note that the vehicle is not maintained at a standstill position
and will not automatically start moving from a standstill position.
• Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Depress
the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, temporary
spare tire is being used, etc.)
- The brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started or the
outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking performance may
be reduced).
- In rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may become wet and braking
performance may be reduced.)
