Examples of limitations on the correct detection of the camera due to the condition of 
the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, or moving bicycles

The vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle 
suddenly cuts in front of or jumps out in front of you.

•

The bicycle is stopped.

•

The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways or facing diagonally.

•

When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle 
blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing them.

Make sure that all the tires are of the same specified 
size, type and brand, and that they are evenly worn.
If you use tires of different sizes, types, brands, or 
degree of wear, the system may not work properly.

Do not modify the suspension. Altering the height of 
the vehicle may prevent the system from working

Low Speed Braking Control

*

Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, and the front grille, this 
system can detect if there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other 
obstacle during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is depressed with too 
much force. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage 
from impact through assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.

Low Speed Braking Control

*

If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a 
situation where you do not want automatic brake 
application (such as when the vehicle is between two 
railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal 
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive 
as intended.

3

WARNING

The Low Speed Braking Control System 
cannot avoid all collisions and may not 
reduce damage in each situation where the 
accelerator is mistakenly or aggressively 
pressed. Overreliance on the system may 
result in a collision with serious injury or 
death. Always check your surroundings, 
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely 
operating the vehicle.

Assistive braking

Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving 
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of 
a collision with a detected wall or other obstacles, as well as providing assistance 
with braking.

Assistive driving power suppression

When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an 
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the 
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with 
a visual and audible alert. At the same time, the system will prevent sudden forward 
or backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking 
will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.

Assistive driving power suppression will not activate in the following situations.

Conditions for Cancellation

After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, 
it will not activate again for the same obstacle.
They can be activated again after driving for a certain 
distance after last activation.

Low Speed Braking Control activates separately when 
moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it 
activates when moving forward, it can be activated 
again immediately if reversing.)
However, if assistive braking has been activated, in 
order to activate assistive driving power suppression 
again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to 
reset the system.

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

When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your 
vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.

Vehicle speed for ACC with Low Speed Follow: 

A vehicle is detected ahead

when driving on expressways or freeways 
and in good road and weather conditions.

3

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.

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

serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is 
stopped by ACC with Low Speed Follow.

 switch up or down when you reach the desired 

speed. The moment you release the switch, the set speed is fixed, and ACC with Low

When you use ACC with Low Speed Follow, Straight Driving Assist (a feature of the 
Electric Power Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automatically compensate for natural steering pull, 
Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight line.

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

If the vehicle is moving 

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

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

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

•

On roads with frequent lane change or continuous 
stop and go traffic, ACC with Low Speed Follow 
cannot keep an appropriate distance between your 
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.

•

On roads with sharp turns.

•

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

•

On roads with bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.), 
ACC with Low Speed Follow may not detect the 
distance between your vehicle and the vehicle 
ahead of you properly.

•

On roads with slippery or icy surfaces. The wheels 
may spin out and your vehicle may lose the control 
on the condition.

•

On roads with steep uphill or steep downhill slopes.

■

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.

While driving down steep hills, ACC with Low

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 an appropriate speed for keeping the 
following-interval while a vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow 
range.

When in Operation

•

ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily

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
