ence
in speed between the vehicle in front
and your own vehicle is so great that the
braking action of the Adaptive Cruise
Control is
insufficient,
you are in danger of
colliding with the vehicle in front. Rain and
winter conditions will also reduce the
braking distance.

Adaptive Cruise Control may not be
able to detect all driving situations cor-
rectly.

Always be prepared to brake the vehi-
cle yourself.
