This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-tovehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to constant speed cruising.

Approach warningCheck for intermittent problems
1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
For use of the intelligent tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode.
Intermittent problems are easier to detect with an
intelligent tester when the ECM is in check mode. In
check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which
is more ...

1. INSPECT SEAT HEATER SWITCH LH
Measure the resistance of the seat heater switch
when the switch is operated.

If the result is not as specified, replace the switch.
HINT:
As the dial is being turned, the resistance changes
gradually.
