When approaching a moving vehicle up ahead,
the adaptive cruise control system brakes to
match that object's speed and then maintains
the stored distance. If the vehicle ahead ac-
celerates, adaptive cruise control will also ac-
celerate up to the stored speed.
The higher the speed, the greater the distance
in yards (meters)¢

is recommended.

how the vehicle ahead is driving, the actual
distance may be more or less than these tar-
get distances.

A
WARNING
Following other vehicles too closely in-
creases the risk of collisions and serious
personal injury .
- Setting short distances to the traffic
ahead reduces the time and distance
available to bring your vehicle to a safe
stop and makes it even more necessary
to pay close attention to traffic.
-
- Always obey applicable traffic laws, use
good judgment, and select a safe follow-
ing distance for the traffic, road and
weather conditions.
