Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Continued

Driving

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate
and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Important Reminder

As with any system, there are limits to ACC with Low
Speed Follow. Use the brake pedal whenever
necessary, and always keep a safe interval between
your vehicle and other vehicles.

For directions on the proper handling of the radar
sensor, refer to the following page.

Radar Sensor

P. 550

WARNING

Improper use of ACC with Low Speed
Follow can lead to a crash.

Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only
when driving on expressways or
freeways and in good road and weather
conditions.

WARNING

ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited
braking capability and may not stop
your vehicle in time to avoid a collision
with a vehicle that quickly stops in front
of you.

Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.

When to use

■

Vehicle speed for ACC with Low Speed Follow:

A vehicle is detected ahead

within ACC with Low Speed Follow range

– ACC with Low Speed Follow

operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

No vehicle is detected within ACC with Low Speed Follow range

– ACC with

Low Speed Follow operates at the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.

and Limitations

P. 524

When not using ACC with Low Speed Follow: Turn
off adaptive cruise by pressing the

MAIN

button. This

also will turn off the Lane Keeping Assist System
(LKAS).

Do not use ACC with Low Speed Follow under the
following conditions:

•

On roads with heavy traffic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.

•

On roads with sharp turns.

•

On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with Low Speed Follow will not apply
the brakes to maintain the set speed.

•

On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or facilities with drive through access.

Driving

When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above:

Take your foot off the

pedal and press the

–/SET

button when you reach the desired speed. The moment

you release the button, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with Low Speed Follow
begins.

When driving slower than about 25 mph (40 km/h):

If the vehicle is moving

and the brake pedal is not depressed, pressing the button fixes the set speed to
about 25 mph (40 km/h) regardless of current vehicle speed. If the vehicle is
stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.

There is a vehicle ahead

ACC with Low Speed Follow monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with
Low Speed Follow range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with Low Speed
Follow system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the
vehicle’s set following-interval from the vehicle ahead.

When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed is detected in front of you, your
vehicle starts to slow down.

When in Operation

When in Operation

If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds,
a message appears on the driver information

■

There is no vehicle ahead

Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow
accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and
then maintains it.

■

When you depress the accelerator pedal

You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
ACC with Low Speed Follow stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the
following-interval while a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow
range.

When in Operation

Even if the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is short, ACC with Low Speed Follow
may start accelerating your vehicle under the
following circumstances:

•

The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.

•

A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradually increasing the interval
between the vehicles.

You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with
Low Speed Follow detecting range. Change the

ACC

Forward Vehicle Detect Beep

setting.

WARNING

Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped
while the ACC with Low Speed Follow
system is operating can result in the
vehicle moving without operator
control.

A vehicle that moves without operator
control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is
