WARNING!

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience

system. It is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibil-
ity to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always re-
quired while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.

The ACC system:

– Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming ve-

hicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

WARNING! (Continued)

– Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi-

tions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.

– Does not predict the lane curvature or the move-

ment of preceding vehicles and will not compen-
sate 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 vehi-

cle’s braking capability, and will not bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.
