The actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance varies in accordance with the vehicle speed. Also,
when the vehicle is stopped by system control, it will be stopped at a certain distance from
the preceding vehicle, depending on the situation, regardless of the setting.
Approach warning
In situations where the vehicle approaches a preceding vehicle and the system
cannot provide sufficient deceleration, such as if a vehicle cuts in front of the
vehicle, a warning display will flash and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Depress the brake pedal to ensure appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

needs to operate, such as when a preceding vehicle
cuts in front of your vehicle, the curve speed reduction
function will be canceled.
