WARNING!

(Continued)

The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e.,

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 predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles

and will not compensate for such changes.

• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result

in wrong or missing distance warnings.

• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and

will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

You should switch off the ACC system:
• 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; and when towing a trailer.

• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its

own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death.
