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.
