When Driving; For safety purposes, switch the MRCC; system off when it is not being used.- Page 257



Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control, or the stop hold
control may not operate.)



Long, descending slopes (to maintain
distance between vehicles, the system
automatically and continuously applies
the brakes which could result in the loss
of brake power.)



Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.



Slopes with a steep gradient (The vehicle
ahead may not be detected correctly,
your vehicle may slide while stopped by
the stop hold control, and it may
accelerate suddenly after it starts
moving.)

For safety purposes, switch the MRCC
system off when it is not being used.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is towed or you are towing
something, switch the MRCC system off to
prevent an unexpected operation.

NOTE



The MRCC system does not detect the
following as physical objects.



Vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction



Pedestrians



Stationary objects (stopped vehicles,
obstructions)



If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.



If there is a structure on the road or an
object (such as a monorail) at a low
height off the ground in front of the
vehicle, the system may operate.
Therefore, do not use the MRCC.



Do not use the MRCC system under
conditions in which close proximity
warnings are frequently activated.



During headway control travel, the
system accelerates and decelerates your
vehicle in conjunction with the speed of
the vehicle ahead. However, if it is
necessary to accelerate for a lane
change or if the vehicle ahead brakes
suddenly causing you to close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the
accelerator pedal or decelerate using
the brake pedal depending on the
conditions.



While the MRCC system is in use, it
does not cancel even if the shift lever is
operated and any intended engine
braking will not occur. If deceleration is
required, lower the vehicle speed setting
or depress the brake pedal.



The sound of the automatic brakes
operating may be heard, however, it
does not indicate a problem.



The brake lights turn on while the
MRCC automatic braking is operating.
