WARNINGS
The system is not a crash warning or
avoidance system. You must
intervene if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.
When you use the system you are
responsible for maintaining the
correct distance and speed. Always
pay attention to the traffic conditions and
intervene when the system is not
maintaining a suitable speed or distance.
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
The system does not brake for slow
or stationary vehicles, pedestrians,
objects in the road, oncoming and
crossing vehicles.
Do not use the system in poor
visibility, specifically fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
Do not use the system on icy or
slippery roads.
Do not use the system when entering
or leaving a freeway.
Note: Only use the system when conditions
are favorable, for example on freeways and
main roads with steady free flowing traffic.
Cruise Control
Note: The radar sensor has a limited field
of vision. In some situations it may detect a
vehicle other than the one expected or not
detect any vehicle at all.
Note: When you switch the system on, it is
possible that you will hear some unusual
sounds during automatic braking. This is
normal and caused by the automatic
braking system.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free
from dirt, metal badges or objects. This
includes vehicle front protectors and
additional lights which may prevent the
sensor from operating.
The system is designed to help you
maintain a gap from the vehicle in front of
you. If there is no vehicle in front of you the
system will maintain a set speed. The
system is intended to provide enhanced
operation of your vehicle when following
other vehicles which are in the same lane
and traveling in the same direction.
The system is based on the use of a radar
sensor which projects a beam directly
forward of your vehicle. This beam will
detect any vehicle ahead within the
system's range.
The radar sensor is located behind the
front grille.
