Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
NOTE
• When the brakes are applied by Adaptive Cruise Control , the vehicle ’ s brake lights will illuminate .
• Even if there is no lead vehicle present , on a downhill grade , the Adaptive Cruise Control ’ s automatic brake may operate in order to maintain the set vehicle speed .
• Some noises may be audible during automatic braking . This is caused by the braking control and does not indicate a malfunction .
• To temporarily accelerate quickly , use the accelerator pedal . After accelerating , the vehicle will gradually return to the set vehicle speed shown in the set vehicle speed display .
• If the vehicle in front is no longer detected while your vehicle is still controlled by the automatic braking operation , the brake will be automatically released gradually . Depress the accelerator pedal if necessary .
• If a far away object is recognized as a possible lead vehicle , acceleration will be reduced early .
• The lead-vehicle following function has the following characteristics : - If the system detects that the lead vehicle has changed lanes , acceleration to the set vehicle speed will start early . - If the lead vehicle ’ s brake lights are detected , deceleration will start earlier than without detection .
- If the vehicle moves to the fast lane while traveling more than approximately 37 mph ( 60 km / h ), the system starts acceleration to the set vehicle speed more quickly because it is linked with the turn signal .
- If you operate the turn signal lever at a speed of approximately 6 mph ( 10 km / h ) or more , depending on the surrounding conditions , a vehicle in the lane on the side you indicated with the turn signal may be recognized as the lead vehicle , and your vehicle will maintain the following distance according to that vehicle ’ s speed .
- If the setting of Driving Lane Customize is different from the actual driving direction , the vehicle may start to accelerate faster than usual when the driver signals a lane change to move from the passing lane to the driving lane .
