Warning
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

stopped or slow-moving vehicles
ahead of you. For example, the

stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to
a vehicle ahead changing lanes.
Your vehicle may not stop and
could cause a crash.
Warning (Continued)
Use caution when using ACC.
Your complete attention is always
required while driving and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes.
