as necessary.

• On steep downslopes
• On roads including steep up and down
slopes or many changes in inclination
• In traffic requiring frequent acceleration
and deceleration

When ACC detects no vehicle
in front within the set distance
NOTE
If the vehicle speed exceed the set speed on
down slope, the system automatically applies
the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.
CAUTION
When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt
solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can more
depress the pedal and it provides greater
braking force.
Sound is heard while automatic brake, but it
is operated a brake control and not abnormal.
