When approaching a moving ve hicle up ahead,
the adaptive cruise contro l system automati-
cally brakes to match that object's speed and
then maintains the stored distance. If the ve-
hicle ahead accelerates, adaptive cruise con-
trol will also accelerate up to the stored
speed .
The higher the speed, the greater the distance
in yards (meters) ¢ .&. . The
Distance 3
setting
is recommended .
The distances provided are specified values .
Depending on the driving situation and the
how the vehicle ahead is driving, the actual
distance may be more or less than these tar -
get distances.

A
WARNING
Following other vehicles too closely in-
creases the risk of collisions and serious
personal injur y.
- Setting short distances to the traffic
ahead red uces the time and distance
available to bring your vehicle to a safe
stop and makes it even more necessary
to pay close attention to traffic.
- Always obey applicable traffic laws, use
good judgment, and select a safe follow-
ing d istance for the traff ic, road and
weather conditions .
