Vehicleto-vehicle distance
Extra long
2 Long
Approximate Distance ( Vehicle Speed : 60 mph [ 100 km / h ])
Approximately 200 ft . ( 60 m )
Approximately 145 ft . ( 45 m )
3 Medium Approximately 100 ft . ( 30 m )
4 Short
Approximately 85 ft . ( 25 m )
The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance varies in accordance with the vehicle speed . Also , when the vehicle is stopped by system control , it will be stopped at a certain distance from the preceding vehicle , depending on the situation , regardless of the setting .
■ Operating conditions
● D shift position is selected .
●The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately 20 mph ( 30 km / h ) or more . ( If the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approximately 20
mph [ 30 km / h ], the set speed will be set to approximately 20 mph [ 30 km / h ].)
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
As with normal driving , acceleration can be performed by depressing the accelerator pedal . After accelerating , the vehicle will return to the set
vehicle speed . However , while in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode , the vehicle speed may
decrease to below the set vehicle speed in order to maintain the distance from the preceding vehicle .
■ When the vehicle is stopped by
system control during follow-up cruising
●When the “ RES ” switch is pressed while the vehicle is stopped by system control , if the preceding
vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds , follow-up cruising will resume .
●If the preceding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds of
the vehicle being stopped by system control , follow-up cruising will resume .
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
In the following situations , vehicleto-vehicle distance control mode will be canceled automatically :
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support system operates ( For example : Pre-Collision System , drivestart control )
