APPROACH WARNING DISPLAY
If own vehicle comes closer to a vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with the buzzer and ACC system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
- The buzzer sounds.
- The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks in yellow.
The warning buzzer may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:
- When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is not changing.
- When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles is increasing.
- When a vehicle cuts in at near own vehicle.
The warning buzzer will not sound when own vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
The warning buzzer will not sound when the accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the ACC system.
The approach warning buzzer may sound and the system display may blink when the distance sensor detects some reflectors which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road.
This may cause the ACC system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.
The distance sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve.
The distance sensor may also detect reflectors on narrow roads or in road construction zones.
In these cases, driver will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of own vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
| Condition | Display on information display | Display on head up display |
|---|---|---|
| When own vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead and it is judged that the distance between the vehicles is not sufficient | Vehicle ahead detection indicator: Yellow (Blink) | Vehicle ahead detection indicator: Yellow (Blink) |
