Following a Vehicle

WARNING: When following a vehicle in front of you, the vehicle
will not decelerate automatically to a stop, nor will the 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.
