STARTING AND OPERATING 355
(Continued)
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system.
It is not a substitute for active driving involve-
ment. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be atten-
tive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle
s
peed,
distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most impor-
tantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
ve
hicle
under all road conditions. Your complete atten-
tion is always required while driving to maintain safe
c
ontrol of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn-
ings can result in a collision and death or serious
p
ersonal
injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not
react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles,
and st
ationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions
into ac
count, and may be limited upon adverse sight
distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving
conditi
ons, which can result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.
• On vehicles with automatic transmission, will bring
the vehicle to a complete stop while following a
target vehicle and hold the vehicle for 2 seconds in
the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC system will
display a message that the system will release the
brakes and that the brakes must be applied manu
-
ally. An audible chime will sound when the brakes
are rel
eased.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet,
heavy t
raffic, 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 c
ircumstances do not allow safe driving at a
constan
t speed.
