WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. It is always the drivers responsibility
to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather condi-
tions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required while
driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision and death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles,
and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions
into account, and may be limited upon adverse
sight distance conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex driving
conditions, which can result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.

WARNING! (Continued)
In vehicles with automatic transmission, will bring
the vehicle to a complete stop while following a
target vehicle and hold the vehicle for approxi-
mately three minutes in the stop position. If the
target vehicle does not start moving within three
minutes, the parking brake will be activated and
the ACC system will be canceled.
You should turn the ACC system off:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet,
heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., in
highway construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp;
when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes.
When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a
constant speed.
