the system is interrupted and the distance indi-

cator goes out until the pedal is fully released.

As soon as you fully release the accelerator, the

system will again control your cruising speed

and distance setting. While driving with the sys-

tem activated, resting your foot on the acceler-

ator pedal will cause the system not to brake

even if necessary. Be certain that floor mats or

other objects on the vehicle floor do not inter-

fere with movement of the accelerator pedal.<

While active cruise control is capable of

braking your vehicle automatically when

you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is

important to be aware that the ability of the sys-

tem to apply the brakes is also limited, e.g.

when you reduce your desired speed sharply. It

uses only a portion of braking system capacity

and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehi-

cle braking system. Therefore, the system can-

not decrease your speed for large differences in

speed between your vehicle and the vehicle

ahead. Examples: when you approach a vehicle

traveling at a much lower speed than your own

speed such as approaching a toll booth or when

a much slower vehicle cuts in front of you at

close range.<
