Following a Vehicle

WARNINGS

When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor will your

vehicle always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Always apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.

WARNINGS

Adaptive cruise control only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar
sensor. In some cases there may be

no warning or a delayed warning. You
should always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.

Note: The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. The
distance setting is adjustable.

The lead vehicle graphic will illuminate.

The system may provide slight temporary
acceleration when you use your left turn
signal while following a lead vehicle, to aid
in passing the vehicle.

The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead until:

The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.

The vehicle in front of you moves out
of your lane or out of view.

The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h).

A new gap distance is set.

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.
