Lead Vehicle Start Alert
Lead Vehicle Start Alert
This function notifies the driver by means of a buzzer and the lead vehicle indicator on the
combination meter display when the driver’s vehicle remains stopped after the vehicle in
front has started to move forward. When the vehicle in front remains stopped continuously
(within a following distance of approximately 32 ft (10 m) and the driver’s vehicle remains
stopped for several seconds or longer), the system continues to detect the vehicle in front
and this alarm activates if the vehicle in front advances approximately 10 ft (3 m) or more
while the driver’s vehicle remains stationary.
This function only activates when the select lever is in the D , M or N position.
When the Lead Vehicle Start Alert activates, a buzzer sounds a two-tone beep, and interruption screens are displayed.
