speed or the distance to a vehicle in front and
may not alert the driver, if the system cannot
detect the front vehicle properly in the fol-
lowing situations, even if Blind Spot Warn-
ing or Sensor system is alerting you.
In these cases, the system may accelerate or
decelerate the vehicle unintentionally. Be
sure to confirm safety such as by depressing
the brake pedal if necessary.

automatically due to detection of a state of
decline in performance, the ACC will not
operate in the temporary condition and will

operate, indication is cancelled.
