WARNING

As there is a performance limit to the

distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.

If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the

vehicle

decelerates

to

a

standstill

within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.

The system may not detect the vehicle

in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem under the following conditions:

– On roads where the traffic is heavy or

there are sharp curves

– On slippery road surfaces such as on

ice or snow, etc.

– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the

bumper around the distance sensor

– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle

may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)

– On repeated uphill and downhill

roads

– When traffic conditions make it diffi-

cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration

– Interference by other radar sources.

Do not use the Intelligent Cruise Con-

trol system if you are towing a trailer.
The system may not detect a vehicle
ahead.

In some road or traffic conditions, a

vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. You may
need to control the distance from other
vehicles using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the ICC
system where not recommended in this
warning section.
