9-52 Driving and Operating
WARNING (Continued)
Detect a stopped or
slow-moving vehicle or other
object ahead.
Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility, such
as in fog, rain, or snow. In
these situations, ACP sensor
performance is limited.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes and/or steer
the vehicle to avoid crashes.
Brake Preparation
When quickly approaching a vehicle
ahead, Brake Preparation reduces
brake response time by having the
brake system prepared for driver
braking to occur more rapidly.
Automatic Braking
Automatic Braking applies the
brakes, even if the driver has not
applied the brakes, in many
imminent front-end crash situations
to help reduce crash damage.
It may even help avoid some
crashes at very low speeds.
Automatic Braking may slow the
vehicle to a complete stop to try to
avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, Automatic Braking will
hold the vehicle at a stop until the
brake pedal is pressed. A firm press
of the accelerator pedal will also
release Automatic Braking.
WARNING
Automatic Braking may
automatically brake the vehicle in
situations where it may be
unnecessary. It could respond to
a turning vehicle ahead,
guardrails, signs, and other
non-moving objects. This could
WARNING (Continued)
be uncomfortable and startling. To
override Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled
or reduced through vehicle
personalization. See the Auto
Collision Preparation portion of
Collision/Detection Systems under
Using the Automatic Collision
Preparation System while towing
a trailer could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and crash.
Turn the system off when towing
a trailer.
