momentarily. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)” in “Understanding The Features Of Your
Vehicle” (if equipped).
•Brake — If the ACC system predicts that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient to maintain the set
distance, this message will flash and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum
braking capacity. When this occurs, you should imme-
diately apply the brakes as needed to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead. Refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Understanding The Fea-
tures Of Your Vehicle” (if equipped).
•Clean Radar Sensor in the Front of Vehicle — If the
ACC system deactivates due to performance limiting
conditions. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)”
in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” (if
equipped).
•ACC/FCW Unavailable Vehicle System Error — If the
ACC system turns off due to a temporary malfunction
that limits functionality. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC)” in “Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle” (if equipped).
•ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sensor — If the
ACC system turns off due to an internal system fault
that requires service from an authorized dealer. Refer
to “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Understand-
ing The Features Of Your Vehicle” (if equipped).

•If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are
required, or if the level in the coolant recovery bottle
does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling
system should be pressure tested for leaks.
•Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at
50% HOAT engine coolant (antifreeze) (minimum)
and distilled water for proper corrosion protection of
your engine, which contains aluminum components.
•Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery
bottle hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
•Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is
equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the
condenser clean.
•Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter
operation. If replacement is ever necessary, installONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas
mileage, and increased emissions.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance, all brake
system components should be periodically inspected.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and
possibly a collision. Driving with your foot resting or
riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally
high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not have your full
braking capacity in an emergency.
