(brake operation is necessary)
The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelera-
tor pedal upward in the normal driving
condition.
When a vehicle ahead is detected:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator ap-
pears.
When the vehicle approaches a vehicle
ahead:
. If the driver’s foot is not on the accel-
erator pedal, the system activates the
brakes to decelerate smoothly as neces-
sary. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the system.
. If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by the driver is
required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the
system moves the accelerator pedal upward
to assist the driver to switch to the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
. The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
. When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operation overrides
the system operation.
. When the driver depresses the accelera-
tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accel-
erator pedal is canceled.
. When the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the brake control by the
system is not operated.
. When the driver’s foot is on the brake
pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is set, the DCA system will be
inactive.
