CAUTION: (Continued)
•
Adaptive Cruise Control may not have
time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid
a crash when you are driving in conditions
where vehicles may suddenly slow or stop
ahead of you, enter your lane, or cross
your vehicle's path. If you are driving in
these conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. The warning beep and
alert symbol may indicate that you are
driving in conditions where Adaptive
Cruise Control should not be used.
See "Alerting the Driver" in this section.
•
On slippery roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control.
Do not use cruise control on slippery
roads.
•
When weather limits visibility, such as
when in fog, rain, or snow conditions,
Adaptive Cruise Control performance
is limited. There may not be enough
distance to adapt to the changing traffic
conditions. Do not use cruise control
when visibility is low.
The Adaptive Cruise controls are located on the
outboard side of the steering wheel.
