automatic braking function cannot bring the vehicle to a stop in
time.
Always turn off Adaptive Cruise Control when entering turn
lanes, exit lanes and construction zones or in similar situations
because the vehicle will automatically accelerate to the stored
speed when the road ahead is clear.
To help prevent unintended operation of Adaptive Cruise
Control, switch the system off when it is not being used.
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously
set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather
conditions.
When traveling downhill, the Adaptive Cruise Control may not
be able to maintain a constant speed. The vehicle will speed
up because of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot
brake to slow the vehicle.
Never allow the closing speed between you and other vehicles
to be so high that the Adaptive Cruise Control may not be able
to slow your vehicle safely. If closing speed is too high, you
must apply the brakes yourself to reduce the risk of a rear-end
crash.
If a driver intervention warning or Front Assist warning appears
in the instrument cluster display, immediately take over the
control of the brake and gas pedals and slow down the vehicle
or bring it to stop when necessary and according to the traffic
situation.
