Following a Vehicle

WARNING: 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 collision without
driver intervention. Always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to
do so may result in a collision, serious injury or death.

WARNING: Adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles
detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be no

warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a collision,
serious injury or death.

Note: The brakes may emit a sound when they are being 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.
