WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use is danger-ous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control
system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. A
collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed,
distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not
compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or
missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will not bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
