
Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle ahead may not be detected correctly, your vehicle
may slide while stopped by the stop hold control, and it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
For safety purposes, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC system off to prevent a
miss-operation.
NOTE

The MRCC system does not detect the following as physical objects.

Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction

Pedestrians

Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

If a vehicle ahead is travelling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.

During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.

Do not use the MRCC system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are
frequently activated.

During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.

While the MRCC system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lever is operated
and any intended engine braking will not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the
vehicle speed setting or depress the brake pedal.

The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.

The brake lights turn on while the MRCC automatic braking is operating, however, they
may not turn on while the vehicle is on a downslope at the set vehicle speed or travelling
at a constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
