WARNING
Assisting the driver to measure follow-
●
ing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is only
intended to help the driver in determin-
ing the following distance between the
driver's own vehicle and a designated
vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mecha-
nism that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can
assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions. It is still necessary for driver to pay
close attention to the vehicle's
surroundings.
Assisting the driver to judge proper
●
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control deter-
mines whether the following distance
between the driver's own vehicle and a
designated vehicle traveling ahead is
within a set range. It is not capable of
making any other type of judgement.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for
the driver to remain vigilant and to deter-
mine whether or not there is a possibility
of danger in any given situation.
Assisting the driver to operate the
●
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control has
limited capability to prevent or avoid a
collision with a vehicle traveling ahead.
Therefore, if there is ever any danger, the
driver must take immediate and direct
control of the vehicle and act appropri-
ately in order to ensure the safety of all
involved.
To avoid inadvertent dynamic radar

●
enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting correctly (fog,
