When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is
ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain a preset
gap distance. The distance setting is adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will be illuminated.
Your vehicle will maintain a constant distance between the vehicle ahead
until:
• the vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view
• the vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (26 km/h)
• a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle brakes will be automatically applied to slow your vehicle to
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The maximum braking
which is applied by the system is limited and can be overridden by the
driver applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, an audible warning will sound while the system continues to
brake. This is accompanied by a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving
conditions.
You can decrease or increase the
distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you by
pressing the GAP control up or
down. The selected gap will display
in the information display as shown by the bars in the graphic. Four gap
distance settings are available.
