WARNING!
•
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is
not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and
weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead, and most importantly brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your com-
plete attention is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in an accident or serious personal injury.
•
The ACC system:
−
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and station-
ary objects (i.e. a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled
vehicle).
−
Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of
preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.
−
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account,
and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
−
Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions,
which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
−
May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example,
sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
−
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking
capability, and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
•
When driving in fog; heavy rain; heavy snow;
sleet; heavy traffic; and complex driving situa-
tions (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 an
accident or serious personal injury.
