There are limits to the capabilities of Adaptive Cruise Control. Even when
the vehicle in front is detected, the system may not be able to decelerate in
time in cases such as when the difference in speeds is large or when the
vehicle in front decelerates suddenly. Operate the brake pedal and decel-
erate as necessary.
Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
*Refer to the separate “"Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”".
If the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
Even when the following distance is short, the “"brake more”" warning may
not activate in the following cases.
- When the relative speed difference compared to the vehicle in front is
small (the two vehicles are travelling at almost the same speed)
- When the vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle (the follow-
ing distance is gradually increasing)
- When another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle
- When the vehicle in front decelerated suddenly
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
