Continuously variable transmission models
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)
Helps to maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, can
decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake
or the accelerator.
1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead to a
crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on
motorways and in good weather
conditions.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.
When to use
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.
3WARNING
ACC with LSF has limited braking capability
and may not stop your vehicle in time to
avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly
stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal if the conditions require.
The radar sensor is inside the
front grille.
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF.
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always
keep a safe interval between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 180 km/h (112 mph).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at
the speed of 30 km/h (18 mph) or above.

Do not use ACC with LSF under the following
conditions:
• On roads with heavy traffic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
• On roads with sharp turns.
If a different instrument panel is displayed, press
the LIM button to change it to ACC with LSF.
• On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with LSF will not apply the brakes to
maintain the set speed.

1When in Operation
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your vehicle from travelling at
the set speed, ACC with LSF accelerates your
vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.
Even if the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with LSF may
start accelerating your vehicle under the following
circumstances:
• The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
• A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradually increasing the interval
between the vehicles.
A vehicle icon with dotted-line
contour appears on the driver
information interface
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle
detected in front of you comes in and goes out of the
ACC with LSF detecting range. Change the ACC
Vehicle Ahead Detected Beep setting.
■ When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC with LSF range.
ACC with LSF stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal,
the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the following-interval while a
vehicle ahead is within the ACC with LSF range.

1To Adjust the Vehicle Speed
To Adjust the Vehicle Speed
■
If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower
than your increased set speed, ACC with LSF may not
accelerate your vehicle. This is to maintain the set
interval between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the RES/+ or –/SET button on the
steering wheel.
To increase speed
When you depress the accelerator pedal and then
push and release the –/SET button, the current speed
of the vehicle is set.
To decrease speed
• Each time you press the RES/+ or –/SET button, the vehicle speed is increased or
decreased by about 1 km/h or 1 mph accordingly.
• If you press and hold the RES/+ or –/SET button, the vehicle speed increases or
decreases by about 10 km/h or 10 mph accordingly.

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the short, middle, long or
extra long following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your
reference.
1To Set or Change Following-interval
The driver must in all circumstances preserve a
sufficient braking interval from the vehicle which
precedes it and be aware that minimum intervals or
times of spacing can be provided by the provisions of
the Motorway Code locally applicable and that it is
the driver’s responsibility to respect those laws.

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control Function
■
Provides an early prediction for a cut-in situation. The system detects that a vehicle
running in the adjacent slower lane has an intention to cut in front of you and
adjusts the speed of your vehicle in advance while ACC with LSF is activated.
■ How the system works
The radar sensor in the front grille detects
vehicles ahead of you including those in the
adjacent lane, and the camera behind the
rearview mirror detects the lane markings.
This system improves ACC with LSF’s
following/tracking property; it adjusts your
vehicle speed in advance predicting a
situation that a vehicle running in the
adjacent slower lane catches up with a slower
vehicle ahead of it and changes the lane to cut
in front of you early.
Slow
Vehicle
When such a cut-in situation is predicted, your
vehicle speed decreases a little. When
detected, your vehicle speed decreases
according to the vehicle cutting in front of
you.
Cut-in

As the speed is adjusted by the system, the cut
in vehicle icon appears on the driver
information interface to indicate that the
system is activated.

■ How the system activates
1Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control Function
When a vehicle cuts in front of you is going faster than the vehicle ahead of it, and
your vehicle is going faster than the cut-in vehicle (i.e., when you need to slow
down), ACC with LSF predicts the cutting-in and adjust your vehicle speed.
When traffic changes from right hand side to left
hand side, driving on a road where there is oncoming
traffic for some distance automatically switches the
lane to be detected from right to left.
The system activates when all the following conditions are met:
• When ACC with LSF is activated.
• When you are driving on a multi-lane road.
• When your vehicle speed is between about 80 km/h (50 mph) and about 180
km/h (112 mph).
Intelligent adaptive cruise control may not activate
under the following conditions:
• When the speed difference between the cut-in
vehicle and the vehicle ahead of it in the adjacent
lane is small
• When the speed difference between the cut-in
vehicle and your vehicle is small (i.e., when speed
adjustment is not required)
• When a vehicle simply cuts in front of your vehicle
with no vehicle ahead in the adjacent lane
• When a vehicle cuts in from a faster lane
• The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• When a vehicle cuts in from a slower lane.
■ Intelligent adaptive cruise control on and off
You can turn the system on and off using the driver information interface.
