STARTING AND DRIVING The vehicle-to-vehicle distance is always set to LONG when the ignition switch is turned on. Select the vehicle-to-vehicle distance considering traffic conditions. The approximate vehicle-to-vehicle distance based on time interval when driving at 88 km/h (55 mph) is shown below: LONG ...about 75 m (245 ft.) MIDDLE ...about 50 m (165 ft.) SHORT ...about 30 m (100 ft.) If the vehicle speed is slower than 88 km/h (55 mph), the distance will be shorter than the above. During long downhill driving, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance will be shorter than the selected distance. Dynamic laser cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. If the approach warning is activated, depress the brake pedal to decelerate to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance. If you are getting closer to the vehicle ahead at a relatively higher speed than that of the vehicle ahead or if engine braking cannot be applied properly, braking control is automatically activated. At this time, the display flashes. Braking control is operating only when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is selected and your vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph). If the speed decreases below about 40 km/h (25 mph), braking control will cease, requiring the manual application of brakes. (i) Braking control 476
