2-4. Using other driving systems

Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

This mode employs a laser radar sensor to detect the presence of
vehicles within 400 ft. (120 m) ahead and to judge the distance
between your vehicle and those vehicles.

Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close when traveling on long
downhill slopes.

Example of constant speed cruising (when there are no vehicles
ahead):

When set to 62 mph (100 km/h)

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance switch.

Example of deceleration cruising (when the vehicle ahead is driv-
ing slower than the set speed):

When fixed speed cruising is set at 62 mph (100 km/h) and the
vehicle ahead is driving at 50 mph (80 km/h)

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, in the same lane, the
system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction
in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent
your vehicle from closing on the vehicle ahead.
