Limitations of the system
OJF055025
The advanced smart cruise control sys‐
tem may have limits to its ability to de‐
tect distance to the vehicle ahead due
to road and traffic conditions.
On curves
• On curves, the advanced smart cruise
control system may not detect a
moving vehicle in your lane, and then
your vehicle could accelerate to the
set speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly down when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
• Select the appropriate set speed on
curves and adjust your vehicle speed
by depressing the accelerator or
brake pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving condition.
OJF055026
• Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Adjust your vehicle speed by depress‐
ing the brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving con‐
dition. Apply the accelerator pedal
and select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road condi‐
tions permit safe operation of the
advanced smart cruise control.
