I don't have a 4RX but I've had multiple vehicles with radar cruise now and they all operate this way. Set the speed you want, and it negotiates to that speed when conditions allow. That's the whole point of the system.

And how can you not realize there's a short distance to the vehicle in front of you? The system doesn't turn off the windshield.

And to the folks who say they would deactivate it when cars are around. Why?!? That's the entire point of radar cruise control.

Baffled all around

Exactly. Set and forget.
If you want to close the gap a bit then use the gas vs increasing the cruze speed.
It is called driving.
