The system helps you to maintain a gap
from the vehicle in front of you. The
system adjusts your vehicle speed to
maintain the set gap between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane.
If there is no vehicle in front of you the
system will maintain a set speed. The
system is intended to provide enhanced
operation of your vehicle when following
other vehicles which are in the same lane
and traveling in the same direction.
The system is based on the use of a radar
sensor which projects a beam directly
forward of your vehicle. This beam will
detect any vehicle ahead within the
system's range.
