When the temperature around the front camera is outside of the opera- tional range, such as when the vehi- cle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment |
If the front camera is hot, such as after the vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the air conditioning sys- tem to decrease the temperature around the front camera. If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was parked, depending on its type, the sunlight reflected from the surface of the sunshade may cause the temperature of the front camera to become excessively high. |

If the front camera is cold, such after the vehicle is parked in an extremely cold environment, use the air condi- tioning system to increase the tem- perature around the front camera. |

Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always pay- ing careful attention to your sur- roundings.
The dynamic radar cruise con- trol with full-speed range pro- vides driving assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully. When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead: P.222

This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehi- cle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may become shorter.
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is nec- essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi- ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
217
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to a left lane while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will quickly acceler- ate to help to overtake a passing vehicle.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance increases/decreases in accor- dance with vehicle speed. When the vehicle is stopped by system control, the vehicle stops at a certain vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance depending on the situa- tion.

Your vehicle will also resume follow-up cruising if the acceler-

Pressing the cancel switch cancels the speed control.The speed control is also canceled when the brake pedal is depressed. (When the vehicle has been stopped by system control, depressing the brake pedal does not cancel the setting.)
When your vehicle is too close
to a vehicle ahead, and suffi- cient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possi-
ble, the display will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
In the following instances, warn- ings may not occur even when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will maintain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehi- cle distance. Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance control mode does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.
Immediately after the switch is pressed, the dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on. After- wards, it switches to the cruise con- trol indicator.

The distances between the vehi- cle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur- faces. In any of the following sit- uations, there is a margin of error between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehicle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be farther

Each time the switch is pressed, the system changes between sport mode and normal mode.
Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and dynamic performance. Suitable for normal driving.
Controls the transmission and engine to provide quick, powerful acceleration. This mode also changes the steering feel, making it suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as when driving on roads with many curves.
When the sport mode is selected, sport mode indicator comes on.
If the engine switch is turned off after driving in sport mode, the drive
mode will be changed to normal mode.
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed when the system detects a panic stop sit- uation
Helps the driver to control skid- ding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road sur- faces.

Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slip- pery road surfaces by con- trolling steering performance.
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slip- pery roads
Helps to prevent the vehicle from drifting to the outer side by performing inner wheel brake control when attempting to accelerate while turning
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an uphill
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
When the SRS airbag sensor detects a collision and the sys- tem operates, the brakes and brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle speed and help reduce the pos- sibility of further damage due to a secondary collision.
The slip indicator light will flash while the TRAC/VSC systems are operating.
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRAC system may reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Pressing

When the Active Cornering Assist is operated, operation sounds and vibrations may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
When the steering wheel is oper- ated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically re-enabled in the fol- lowing situations:
If both the TRAC and VSC sys- tems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
The system operates when the fol- lowing occurs.
The effectiveness of the EPS sys- tem is reduced to prevent the sys- tem from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steer- ing wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
The system operates when the SRS airbag sensor detects a collision while the vehicle is in motion.
