Short press |
1 km/h (1 mph) |
|
Long press |
10 km/h (5 mph) |
For example, the set vehicle speed is changed by pressing the SET switch four times as follows:
The vehicle speed accelerates or decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
To increase speed using accelerator pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal and press and release the SET switch or SET switch at the desired speed. If the switch is not operated, the system returns to the set speed after you release your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The warnings and brake control do not operate while the accelerator pedal is depressed.
-
The setting speed can be changed by operating the SET
switch or SET switch during stop hold control. -
When accelerating using the SET
switch while in headway control, the set vehicle speed can be adjusted but acceleration is not possible. If there is no longer a vehicle ahead, acceleration continues until reaching the set vehicle speed. For the set vehicle speed, check the set vehicle speed indication in the display. -
When depressing the accelerator pedal, the inter-vehicle distance indication in the display changes to the white-line indication.

-
The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System (Search).
-
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen, such as indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always check the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.
-
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen and distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
-
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space, even though the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
-
-
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned to the left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from the opposite direction, the steering operation is reversed.
-
Back the vehicle into the parking space by turning the steering wheel so that the vehicle enters the center of the parking space.
-
After the vehicle starts entering the parking space, stop and adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are roughly equal, and then continue backing up slowly.
-
Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in the best possible position. (If the parking space has division lines, check whether the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to them.)
