Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, yourvehicle does not decelerateautomatically to a stop, nor doesyour vehicle always decelerate quicklyenough to avoid a crash without driverintervention. Always apply the brakes whennecessary. Failing to do so may result in acrash, serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warnsof vehicles detected by the radarsensor. In some cases there may beno warning or a delayed warning. Youshould always apply the brakes whennecessary. Failing to do so may result in acrash, serious injury or death.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters thesame lane or a slower vehicle is ahead inthe same lane, the vehicle speed adjuststo maintain a preset gap.
The lead vehicle graphic illuminates.
Your vehicle maintains a constant gapbehind the vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle in front of you acceleratesto a speed above the set speed.
•The vehicle in front of you moves outof your lane or out of view.
•The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph(20 km/h).
•A new gap is set.
The system applies the brakes to slow yourvehicle to maintain a safe gap from thevehicle in front. The maximum brakingwhich the system can apply is limited. Youcan override the system by applying thebrakes.
If the system predicts that its maximumbraking level is insufficient, an audiblewarning sounds and a message appearsin the information display while the systemcontinues to brake.
The system is designed to assist you bywarning you of the risk of a crash with thevehicle in front of you.
The system is designed to alert you bywarning chimes and a visual warning in theinformation display.
Brake support is turned on to enable fullbraking effectiveness and reduce theseverity of a crash with the vehicle in frontof you.
Note:The brakes may emit a sound whenmodulated by the adaptive cruise controlsystem.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding thesystem by pressing the acceleratorpedal, the system does notautomatically apply the brakes to maintainseparation from any vehicle ahead.
You can override the set speed and gap bypressing the accelerator pedal.
When you override the system,the green indicator lightilluminates and the lead vehiclegraphic does not show in theinformation display.
The system resumes operation when yourelease the accelerator pedal. The vehiclespeed decreases to the set speed, or alower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Automatic Switch Off
The system does not operate below12 mph (20 km/h). An audible warningsounds and the automatic braking releasesif the vehicle drops below this speed.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
•The tires lose traction.
•The engine speed is too low.
•You apply the parking brake.
Note:If the engine speed drops too low,the information display indicates low enginespeed. Shift to a lower gear (manualtransmission only) to avoid automaticcancellation.
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear positionwhen the system is active in situationssuch as prolonged downhill driving onsteep grades, for example in mountainousareas. The system needs additional enginebraking in these situations to reduce theload on the vehicle’s regular brake systemto prevent them from overheating.
Note:An audible warning sounds and thesystem shuts down if it applies brakes foran extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool down. The system functionsnormally again when the brakes have cooleddown.
Detection Beam Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. It may not detect vehicles at all ordetect a vehicle later than expected insome situations. The lead vehicle graphicdoes not illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.
