currently traveled lane, such a sign exists 

directly after a freeway branches, or in an 

adjacent lane just before merging.

Stickers are attached to the rear of the 

preceding vehicle.

A sign resembling a system compatible 

sign is recognized.

Side road speed signs may be detected 

and displayed (if positioned in sight of the 

front camera) while the vehicle is travel-

ing on the main road.

Roundabout exit road speed signs may 

be detected and displayed (if positioned 

in sight of the front camera) while travel-

ing on a roundabout.

The front of the vehicle is raised or low-

ered due to the carried load.

The surrounding brightness is not suffi-

cient or changes suddenly.

When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is 

recognized.

Vehicles with navigation system: The 

speed information displayed on the 

meter and that displayed on the naviga-

tion system may be different due to the 

navigation system using map data.

Speed limit sign display

If the engine switch was last turned off while 

a speed limit sign was displayed on the 

multi-information display, the same sign dis-

plays again when the engine switch is 

turned to ON.

Dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range

In vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the vehicle automati-
cally accelerates, decelerates and 
stops to match the speed changes 
of the preceding vehicle even if the 
accelerator pedal is not depressed. 
In constant speed control mode, 
the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.

WARNING

Before using dynamic radar cruise 

control with full-speed range

Driving safely is the sole responsibility 

of the driver. Do not rely solely on the 

system, and drive safely by always pay-

ing careful attention to your surround-

ings.

The dynamic radar cruise control with 

full-speed range provides driving 

assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-

den. However, there are limitations to 

the assistance provided.

Read the following conditions carefully. 
Do not overly rely on this system and 
always drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly 

detecting the vehicle ahead: 

P.212

• Conditions under which the vehicle-

to-vehicle distance control mode may 

not function correctly: 

P.213

A

B

C

D

E

Set the speed appropriately depend-

ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road 

conditions, weather conditions, etc. 

The driver is responsible for checking 

the set speed.

Even when the system is functioning 

normally, the condition of the preced-

ing vehicle as detected by the system 

may differ from the condition 

observed by the driver. Therefore, the 

driver must always remain alert, assess 

the danger of each situation and drive 

safely. Relying solely on this system or 

assuming the system ensures safety 

while driving can lead to an accident, 

resulting in death or serious injury.

Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range setting to off, 

using the cruise control main switch 

when not in use.

Cautions regarding the driving assist 

systems

Observe the following precautions, as 

there are limitations to the assistance 

provided by the system. 

Failure to do so may cause an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

Assisting the driver to measure follow-

ing distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range is only intended to help 
the driver in determining the following 
distance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows 
careless or inattentive driving, and it is 
not a system that can assist the driver in 
low-visibility conditions. 
It is still necessary for driver to pay close 
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.

206

4-5. Using the driving support systems

WARNING

Assisting the driver to judge proper 

following distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range determines whether the 
following distance between the driver’s 
own vehicle and a designated vehicle 
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is 
not capable of making any other type of 
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely 
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not 
there is a possibility of danger in any 
given situation.

Assisting the driver to operate the 

vehicle

The dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range does not include func-
tions which will prevent or avoid colli-
sions with vehicles ahead of your vehicle. 
Therefore, if there is ever any possibility 
of danger, the driver must take immedi-
ate and direct control of the vehicle and 
act appropriately in order to ensure the 
safety of all involved.

Situations unsuitable for dynamic 

radar cruise control with full-speed 

range

Do not use dynamic radar cruise control 

with full-speed range in any of the follow-

ing situations. 

Doing so may result in inappropriate 

speed control and could cause an acci-

dent resulting in death or serious injury.

Roads where there are pedestrians, 

cyclists, etc.

In heavy traffic

On roads with sharp bends

On winding roads

On slippery roads, such as those cov-

ered with rain, ice or snow

On steep downhills, or where there 

are sudden changes between sharp up 

and down gradients 

Vehicle speed may exceed the set 

speed when driving down a steep hill.

At entrances to freeways and highways

When weather conditions are bad 

enough that they may prevent the sen-

sors from detecting correctly (fog, 

snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

When there is rain, snow, etc. on the 

front surface of the radar or front cam-

era

In traffic conditions that require fre-

quent repeated acceleration and 

deceleration

During emergency towing

When an approach warning buzzer is 

heard often

207

4-5. Using the driving support systems

4

Driving

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 
328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following dis-
tance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle 
ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the 
vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.

When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates 
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies 
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in 
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by 
the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to 
prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. 
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing 
the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off 
operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane while driving at 
50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly accelerate to help to overtake a pass-
ing vehicle.

the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by 
system control, depressing the brake pedal 
does not cancel the setting.)

2

Pressing the “+RES” switch 
resumes the cruise control and 
returns vehicle speed to the set 
speed.

When your vehicle is too close to a 
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic 
deceleration via the cruise control is 
not possible, the display will flash and 
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. 
An example of this would be if another 
driver cuts in front of you while you are 
following a vehicle. Depress the brake 
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)

*

The Blind Spot Monitor is a system 
that uses rear side radar sensors 
installed on the inner side of the 
rear bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

The driver is solely responsible for safe 

driving. Always drive safely, taking care 

to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplemen-

tary function which alerts the driver that a 

vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside 

rear view mirrors or is approaching rap-

idly from behind into a blind spot. Do not 

overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. As 

the function cannot judge if it is safe to 

change lanes, over reliance could lead to 

an accident resulting in death or serious 

injury.
As the system may not function correctly 

under certain conditions, the driver’s own 

visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

Conditions under which the Blind Spot 

Monitor may not function correctly

The Blind Spot Monitor may not detect 

vehicles correctly in the following situa-

tions:

• When the sensor is misaligned due to a 

strong impact to the sensor or its sur-

rounding area

• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is 

covering the sensor or surrounding area 

on the rear bumper

• When driving on a road surface that is 

wet with standing water during bad 

weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog

• When multiple vehicles are approaching 

with only a small gap between each vehi-

cle

• When the distance between your vehicle 

and a following vehicle is short

• When there is a significant difference in 

speed between your vehicle and the vehi-

cle that enters the detection area

• When the difference in speed between 

your vehicle and another vehicle is 

changing

• When a vehicle enters a detection area 

traveling at about the same speed as your 

vehicle

• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehi-

cle remains in the detection area

• When driving up and down consecutive 

steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the 

road, etc.

• When driving on roads with sharp bends, 

consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces

• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when 

driving on the edge of a lane, and the 

vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away 

from your vehicle

• When an accessory (such as a bicycle 

carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehi-

cle

• When there is a significant difference in 

height between your vehicle and the 

vehicle that enters the detection area

The Parking Support Alert system 
consists of the following functions 
that operate when driving at a low 
speed or backing up, such as when 
parking. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a colli-
sion with a detected object, such as 
a wall is high, a warning operates to 
urge the driver to take evasive 
action.
