STARTING AND DRIVING (d) Changing vehicle−to−vehicle distance The vehicle−to−vehicle distance is always set to "Long" when the engine switch is turned on. CAUTION G31016 D Select the vehicle−to−vehicle distance considering traffic conditions. The approximate vehicle−to−vehicle distance based on time interval when driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) is shown below : "Long" ...about 50 m (about 164 ft.) "Middle" ...about 40 m (about 132 ft.) " 1 Long 2 Middle 3 Short "Short" ...about 30 m (about 100 ft.) If the vehicle speed is slower than 80 km/h (50 mph), the distance will be shorter than the above. D During long downhill driving, the vehicle−to−vehicle distance will be shorter than the selected distance. You can select one of the following vehicle−to−vehicle distances: "Long", "Middle" or "Short". Each time you pull the distance switch briefly toward you, the setting changes from "Long" to "Middle" to "Short" and then back to "Long". You can confirm the setting on the multi−information display. It should be noted that pulling the "DISP" switch will change to another screen. Your vehicle speed changes in proportion to the speed of the vehicle ahead, maintaining the selected distance. However, if the vehicle speed is slower, the selected distance will be shorter than the designated distance. When the vehicle −to −vehicle distance control mode is activated or the multi−information display indicates "RADAR READY", the vehicle−to−vehicle distance setting can be changed. 406
