STARTING AND DRIVING
430
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down
in the “
−
SET” direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at
that speed. At this time, the display indicates settings such as
the preset vehicle speed, whether a vehicle is present ahead
and the selected vehicle
−
to
−
vehicle distance. If no vehicle is
detected ahead, the display does not indicate the vehicle
ahead. You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you need to accelerate — for example, when passing —
depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle will return to the control prior to acceleration.
You cannot set the vehicle speed if the master warning light
comes on, the alarm sounds and a warning message appears
on the multi
−
information display. If a warning message
appears on the display, see “(l) Vehicle
−
to
−
vehicle distance
control mode failure warning” on page 436.
(d) Cancelling the preset speed
You can cancel the preset speed by doing any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
c. Pressing the “ON
−
OFF” button.
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the lever or
depressing the brake pedal, the “RADAR READY” appears on
the multi
−
information display and the dynamic laser cruise
control enters the ready mode.
If the preset speed is cancelled by pressing the “ON
−
OFF”
button, the “CRUISE” indicator light goes off in the instrument
panel. In this case, the preset speed data is cleared, and you
must set the speed from the beginning.
In the following cases, the preset speed automatically cancels
out:
a. The vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph). (40
km/h (25 mph) is designated as a cancel speed.)
b. The slip indicator light blinks and an alarm sounds. (This
occurs when the vehicle is about to skid.)
If cancelled by a. or b., a message “RADAR READY” appears
on the multi
−
information display and the dynamic laser cruise
control enters the ready mode.
If a warning message appears on the multi
−
information
display, the preset speed is automatically cancelled. See “(l)
Vehicle
−
to
−
vehicle distance control mode failure warning” on
page 436.
