WARNING!
•
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibil-
ity 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 complete attention is always re-
quired while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
The ACC system:
•
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles,
and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
•
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi-
tions 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.
•
Can only apply a maximum of 40% of the vehi-
cle’s braking capability, and will not bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.
