Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Continued

Driving

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

A vehicle icon appears on the
gauge.

Driving

■

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.

On steep downhill during ACC with Low
Speed Follow, it brakes to inhibit excessive
acceleration for maintaining the set speed.
However the vehicle speed may become faster
than the set speed.

■

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 the set speed.
There are times when the vehicle speed will decrease when the accelerator pedal is
lightly applied.

When in Operation

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle detected 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. A vehicle detect
beep on and off can be selected.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Driving

When in Operation

•

ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily
control the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your
vehicle depending on the road conditions (e.g.
curves) or vehicle conditions (e.g. operating the
steering wheel or the vehicle location in the lane).

•

When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such
as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC
with Low Speed Follow may continue to maintain
the set following-interval for a short time.

Driving

■

A vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with Low Speed Follow range and
slows to a stop

Your vehicle also stops, automatically. The

Stopped

message appears on the gauge.

When the vehicle ahead of you starts again,
the vehicle icon on the gauge blinks. If you
press the

RES/+

SET/−

switch up or down, or

depress the accelerator pedal, ACC with Low
Speed Follow operates again within the prior
set speed.

When in Operation

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
stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow.
