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 if the vehicle in front has stopped, the stay-stopped function is engaged. However, if the EyeSight stereo cameras lost detection of the vehicle in front, the system may not stop your vehicle. Operate the brake pedal and maintain the correct following distance as necessary. Be aware that the EyeSight system has difficulty detecting objects or vehicles that have a relative speed in comparison to your vehicle. Therefore, if the EyeSight system loses detection just as you are approaching a line of stopped cars, for example- you will have to brake manually.
� There is no possibility that the vehicle will automatically begin moving from a stay-stopped condition without operation from the driver.
� If the conditions for automatically canceling cruise control( � refer to page 49) are met while the vehicle is stay-stopped, Adaptive Cruise Control is canceled and for safety reasons, the electronic parking brake is automatically applied.
� Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Operate 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 status( brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)- When the brakes are cold.( For example, just after the engine is started or when the outside temperature is low.)- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the engine has warmed-up- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades( braking effectiveness may be reduced)- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle( the brakes may become wet and braking effectiveness may be reduced)- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
