To Set the Vehicle Speed
When driving at about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above: Take your foot off the pedal and press the RES/+/SET/− 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-Speed Follow begins. 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 the current vehicle speed. If your vehicle is stationary, you can set the vehicle speed even with the brake pedal depressed.
The Vehicle Stability Assist TM (VSA®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist TM (VSA®) OFF, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, low tire pressure/TPMS* and safety support indicators may come on in amber along with a message in the gauge when you set the power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery. Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer. You can switch the displayed set speed measurements on the driver information interface or audio/information screen* between mph and km/h.

When ACC with Low-Speed Follow starts operating, the vehicle icon, interval bars, and set speed appear on the gauge. 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 in Operation
There is a vehicle ahead
ACC with Low-Speed Follows monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC with Low-Speed Follow range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC with Low-Speed Follow system maintains or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed in order to keep the vehicle’s set following interval from the vehicle ahead.
To Set or Change Following-interval P. 536
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds, a message appears on the driver information interface.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate interval from the vehicle ahead.
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than your set speed is detected in front of you, your vehicle starts to slow down.
Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with Low-Speed Follow may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances:
- The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
- A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster than your vehicle, gradually increasing the interval between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC with Low-Speed Follow detecting range. A vehicle detects beep on and off can be selected.
Limitations
You may need to use the brake to maintain a safe interval when using ACC with Low-Speed Follow. Additionally, ACC with Low-Speed Follow may not work properly under certain conditions.
