WARNING

■

Before using dynamic radar

cruise control with full-speed

range

●

Driving safely is the sole responsi-

bility of the driver. Do not rely solely

on the system, and drive safely by
always paying careful attention to

your surroundings.

●

The dynamic radar cruise control

with full-speed range provides driv-

ing assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are

limitations to the assistance pro-

vided.

Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.

• When the sensor may not be cor-

rectly detecting the vehicle ahead:

WARNING

• Conditions under which the vehicle-

to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly:

P.249

●

Set the speed appropriately
depending on the speed limit, traffic

flow, road conditions, weather con-

ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-
ble for checking the set speed.

●

Even when the system is function-
ing normally, the condition of the

preceding vehicle as detected by

the system may differ from the con-
dition 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 seri-

ous injury.

●

Switch the dynamic radar cruise

control 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 fol-

lowing distance

The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to
help the driver in determining the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s
own vehicle 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 condi-
tions.
It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings.

●

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 vigilant 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
functions which will prevent or avoid

collisions with vehicles ahead of your

vehicle. Therefore, if there is ever any
possibility of danger, the driver must

take immediate and direct control of

the vehicle and act appropriately in
order to ensure the safety of all

involved.

WARNING

■

Situations unsuitable for

dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range

Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range in any of the
following situations. Doing so may

result in inappropriate speed control

and could cause an accident 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
covered 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 high-

ways

●

When weather conditions are bad

enough that they may prevent the
sensors from detecting correctly

(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain,

etc.)

●

When there is rain, snow, etc., on

the front surface of the radar or
front camera

●

In traffic conditions that require fre-
quent repeated acceleration and

deceleration

●

When your vehicle is towing a

trailer or during emergency towing

●

When an approach warning buzzer

is heard often
