The vehicle will apply the brakes to
slow the vehicle to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front. The
maximum braking which the system
can apply is limited. You can override
the system by applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its
maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, an audible warning will
sound while the system continues to
brake. This is accompanied by a
heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You
should take immediate action.
