STARTING AND OPERATING

(Continued)
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
system automatically intervenes by braking (or
accelerating) slightly in order not to exceed the
original set speed, so that the vehicle keeps
the preset distance, seeking to adapt to the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not
guaranteed under the following circum-
stances, and it is recommended to turn the
system off when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction
zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake oper-
ation 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 warn-
ings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• May react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a
disabled vehicle) at speeds between
2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and
60 km/h).
• 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.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete
stop while following a target vehicle
and hold the vehicle for approximately
two minutes in the stop position. If the
target vehicle does not start moving
within two minutes, the parking brake
will be activated and the ACC system
will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,
sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situ-
ations (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
hav
e steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
