Dynamic radar cruise control
Dynamic radar cruise control supplements conventional cruise control with a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control. In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates or decelerates in order to maintain a set following distance from vehicles ahead.

Setting the vehicle speed (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode)
Press the “ON-OFF” button to activate the cruise control.
Radar cruise control indicator will come on.
Press the button again to deacti- vate the cruise control.
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle to the desired speed, and push the lever down to set the speed.
“SET” indicator will come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever is released becomes the set speed.
Adjusting the set speed
To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed is displayed.
1. Increases the speed
2. Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in the desired direction.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) for each 0.75 seconds the lever is held
When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
Fine adjustment: By approximately 0.6 mph (1 km/h) each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: By approximately 3.1 mph (5 km/h) for each 0.75 seconds the lever is held
In the constant speed control mode , the set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the lever is operated
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased contin- ually until the lever is released.
Changing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Pressing the button changes the vehicle-to-vehicle distance as follows:
1. Long
2. Medium
3. Short
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is set automatically to long mode when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
If a vehicle is running ahead of you, the preceding vehicle mark will be also displayed.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance settings
Select a distance from the table below. Note that the distances shown correspond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance increases/decreases in accordance with vehicle speed.
Canceling and resuming the speed control
1. Pulling the lever toward you cancels the speed control.
The speed setting is also can- celed when the brakes are applied.
2. Pushing the lever up resumes the cruise control and returns vehicle speed to the set speed.
Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
