CAUTION
• After Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes
to a stop because the vehicle in front has stopped, the automatic braking
function will be canceled immediately after stopping and the vehicle will
start creeping forward gradually (at the same time three short beeps and a
single long beep will sound). Be sure to depress the brake pedal and stop
the vehicle completely.
• Braking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions.
Depress the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure,
temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When the brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started
or when the outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance may be reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may
become wet and braking performance may be reduced)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
