System limitations Fig. 260
On the instrument panel display: ini-
tial syst em self-calibr
ation indication. Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the syst
em. Thus, in cert
ain circumst
ances,
some of the r eactions may be inappr
opriat
e
from the driver
Driving
The ACC adapts the cruising speed of the
v ehicl
e, k
eeping a saf e dist
ance aw
ay from
the vehicle in front, if there is one, depending
on speed.
When driving behind another vehicle, the
ACC reduces speed until it is the same as
that of the vehicle ahead and maintains the
set distance between the vehicles. If the vehi-
cle ahead accelerates, the ACC also accel-
erates the vehicle, going no higher than the
programmed target speed.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic
gearbox, the ACC can brake the vehicle until
it stops completely if a vehicle in front of it
stops.
The distance programmed should be in-
creased when the road surface is wet.
Driver intervention prompt
ACC is subject to certain limitations inherent
to the system. In other words, in certain cir-
cumstances the driver will have to adjust the
speed and the distance from other vehicles.
In this case, the instrument panel screen will
warn you to intervene by applying the brake
and a warning tone will be heard
