& WARNING
Following other vehicles too closely increase s the risk of a crash
and ser ious personal injury.
• Following other vehicles too closely, particularly at higher

• Setting short distances to the traffic ahead redu ce s the time
and d istance available to br ing your vehicle to a safe stop and
make s it even more ne ce ss ary to pay clo se attention to traffi c.
• Always select a speed and distance to traffic ahead that is safe
and appropriate under the prevailing traffi c, road, weather and
lighting cond itions.

prevent rear -end collisions . Always be prepared to b rake and take
ev asive action to avoid collisions and other accident situ ations .
• Never allow the closing speed between you and other vehicles
to be so high that the Adaptive Cruise Contr ol may not be able to
slow your vehicle safely . If closing speed is too high , you must
apply the brake s yourself to reduce the ri sk of a rear -end cra sh.
