WARNING
l Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The ACC is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem or an automatic driving system. The
system is not intended to compensate for
driver’s loss of attention to the front dur-
ing driving due to distraction or careless-
ness or supplement a drop in visibility due
to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and
careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.
l This system may not correctly detect the
actual situation depending on the type of
vehicle in front and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to
decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle in
front applies the brakes suddenly or an-
other vehicle cuts into your path, so your
vehicle approaches the front vehicle.
Improper usage of this system or loss of
attention to the front by the over-rely on
the ACC, may result in a serious accident.
CAUTION
l In the following situations, the system may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle
in front or triggers its control and alarm
functions by detecting something other than
a vehicle in front.
CAUTION
• When driving in curved sections of road
including their entrance/outlet or running
beside a closed lane in a traffic work or
similar zone.
• When your vehicle position in a lane is in-
stable, is frequently steered to right and
left, or running unstably due to a traffic
accident, trouble with some vehicles, etc.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
l Never use the ACC in any of the following
situations. Failure to follow this instruction
could lead to an accident.
• On roads with heavy traffic or roads in-
cluding many windings or steep curves.
CAUTION
• On roads with slippery surfaces, such as
frozen, snow-covered, and dirt roads.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.).
• On steep downslopes.
• On roads including steep up and down
slopes or many changes in inclination.
• In traffic requiring frequent acceleration
and deceleration.
• When the proximity alarm sounds fre-
quently.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-
mometer or free rollers.
• When the air pressure in the tyres is not
correct.
• When snow traction device (tyre chains)
are attached.
l Be sure to take the following precautions to
keep the system in good operating condi-
tions.
Improper handling of the system compo-
nents may result in degraded sensor per-
formance.
• Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the sensor and never tamper with or re-
move the sensor mounting screws.
• The cover in front of the sensor and the
sensor should be kept clean.
