hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
● The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicles’s path, the FEB
system will not function when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor. – Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.

winter tires or tire chains on a snow
covered road. The chassis control is an electric control module
that includes the following functions:
● Active Trace Control
● Active Engine Brake
● Active Ride Control
ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL
This system senses driving based on the driver’s
steering and acceleration/braking patterns, and
controls brake pressure at individual wheels to
aid tracing at corners and help smooth vehicle
response.
The Active Trace Control can be set to ON (en-
abled) or OFF (disabled) through the vehicle
information display “Settings” page. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle information
display” in the “Instruments and controls” section
