As with conventional cruise control systems, ac‐
tive cruise control in no way reduces or substi‐
tutes for the driver's own personal experience,
responsibility, alertness and awareness in ad‐
justing speed, braking or otherwise controlling
the vehicle. The driver should decide when to
use the system on the basis of road, traffic, vis‐
ibility, and weather conditions. Active cruise
control is intended for use on highway-type
roadways where traffic is moving relatively
smoothly as well as in slow-moving traffic con‐
gestion. Do not use the system in city driving; in
complex driving situations; heavy traffic such as
during rush hour; on curvy, winding roads, slip‐
pery roads or roads with sharp curves such as
highway off-ramps; during inclement weather
such as snow, strong rain or fog; or when enter‐
ing interchanges, service/parking areas or toll
booths. It is also important to regulate your ve‐
hicle's speed and distance setting within appli‐
cable legal limits. Always be ready to take action
or apply the brakes if necessary, especially when
the system is actively following a vehicle in front
of you. Otherwise, driving conditions can result
which lead to a violation of the law or elevated
risk of an accident.
The minimum initial activation speed is
20 mph/ 30 km/h, and the maximum speed is
110 mph/ 180 km/h. The system can also be ac‐
tivated while the vehicle is stationary, refer to

With each activation to the resistance point,
the desired speed increases by approx.
1 mph/1 km/h.
▷
With each activation beyond the resistance
point, the desired speed increases by a max‐
imum of 5 mph/10 km/h.
