Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your
vehicle does not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor does
your vehicle always decelerate quickly
enough to avoid a crash without driver
intervention. Always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar
sensor. In some cases there may be
no warning or a delayed warning. You
should always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap.
The lead vehicle graphic illuminates.
Your vehicle maintains a constant gap
behind the vehicle ahead until:
•
The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.
•
The vehicle in front of you moves out
of your lane or out of view.
•
The vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h.
•
A new gap is set.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking
which the system can apply is limited. You
can override the system by applying the
brakes.
Cruise Control
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system
continues to brake. The red warning bar
appears on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.
Setting the Gap
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.
You can decrease or increase the gap
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you by pressing the gap control.
E164805
The selected gap appears in the
information display as shown by the bars
in the graphic. You can select from one of
four gap settings.
Note: The gap setting is time dependent
and therefore the distance will
automatically adjust with your speed.
