Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
CAUTION
• After Adaptive Cruise Control has started , it maintains control continuously according to the movement 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 camera has 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 ( � page 65 ) are met while the vehicle is stay-stopped , Adaptive Cruise Control is canceled . For safety reasons , the electronic parking brake is automatically applied .
• 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 .)
