Adaptive Cruise Control will not slow the vehicle down or
maintain the set distance when you drive towards an obstacle
or something on or near the road that is not moving, such as
vehicles stopped in a traffic jam, a stalled or disabled vehicle.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between
you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather,
and visibility conditions.
Never use Adaptive Cruise Control on steep, winding, or
slippery roads (such gravel roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy
roads) or on roads with standing water.
Never use Adaptive Cruise Control when driving in heavy or
varying stop-and-go traffic.
Never use Adaptive Cruise Control when driving off-road or on
unpaved roads.
Always remember that the Adaptive Cruise Control cannot
detect a vehicle that is driving towards you in your traffic lane
and that it cannot detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles
and bicycles.
Never follow a vehicle so closely that you cannot stop your
vehicle safely. The Adaptive Cruise Control cannot slow or
brake the vehicle safely when you follow another vehicle too
closely. Always remember that the Adaptive Cruise Control
has a braking power that is only about 30% of the vehicle's
maximum braking ability, under certain circumstances the
automatic braking function cannot bring the vehicle to a stop in
