until:
• the vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view
• the vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (26 km/h)
• a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle brakes will be automatically applied to slow your vehicle to
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The maximum braking
which is applied by the system is limited and can be overridden by the
driver applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum braking level will not be

brake. This is accompanied by a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should take immediate action.
