WARNING!

(Continued)

The ACC system:

Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles,

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

Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi-

tions 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 3 minutes in the stop position.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within
3 minutes the parking brake will be activated,
and the ACC system will be cancelled.
