Limitations of the system

The SCC may have limits to its abili-
ty to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead due to road and traffic condi-
tions.

On curves

• On curves, the SCC may not

detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly slow
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

OYP054143N

5 61

Driving your vehicle

• Your vehicle speed can be reduced

due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. Apply
the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check
to be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the SCC.

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving,

the SCC may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and cause
your vehicle to accelerate to the
set speed. Also, the vehicle speed
will rapidly slow down when the
vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

Lane changing

• A vehicle which moves into your

lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.

• The sensor may not detect imme-

diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.

• If a vehicle which moves into your

lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
