Adaptive Cruise Control

with Low Speed Follow (ACC with Low Speed Follow)

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the accelerator. When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle's brake lights will illuminate.

Warning
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with LSF system is operating can result in the vehicle moving without operator control.

A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with LSF.

■During Operation

If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC with Low Speed Follow is turned on, the system maintains, accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed to keep the vehicle’s set following interval from the vehicle ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down abruptly or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-information display to alert you.
Warning
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited braking capability and may not stop your vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.

Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
