OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
In the following situations, the adaptive
cruise control system warning light (3) may
come on, the message (4) may appear
and adaptive cruise control or adaptive
cruise control with stop & go may be deac-
tivated automatically, even if there is no dirt
on the sensor surface.
• In a tunnel
• A road where there are concrete walls
on both sides
• A road where there are metal fences on
one side
• Around overpasses or grade separated
crossings
• When there is bad weather such as rain
or snow
• A road where there are puddles
In these situations, the adaptive cruise
control or adaptive cruise control with stop
& go is stopped functioning temporarily,
because millimeter-waves emanating from
the radar sensor cause diffused reflection
and a position of the vehicle in front of you
cannot be detected correctly. If you drive
the vehicle for about 2 minutes after the
above situations have improved, these
indicator and message will turn off and the
adaptive cruise control or adaptive cruise
control with stop & go will turn back on.
