WARNING
- Never rely on the distance control fea-
ture of ACC alone to prevent rear-end col-
lisions . Always be prepared to brake and
take evasive action to avoid collisions
and other accident situations.
- Never allow the clos ing speed between
you and other vehicles to be so high that
the adaptive cruise control may not be
able to slow your vehi cle safe ly. If clos -
ing speed is too high, you must app ly the
brakes yourself to reduce the risk of a
rear-end crash.
