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.
• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example, sunrise or sunset) is
directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
• 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.
