Operation Manual

Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your
vehicle does not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor does
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.
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. Failure to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.
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 lead vehicle graphic illuminates.
Your vehicle will maintain a consistant gap
from 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 is set.
If required, the system automatically
applies the brakes to maintain the set gap
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. This braking capacity is limited to
approximately 30% of the total manual
braking capacity to maintain smooth and
comfortable cruising.
The system is designed to assist you by
warning you of the risk of a crash with the
vehicle ahead.
The system alerts you with warning chimes
and a visual warning in the information
display.
Brake support assists with full braking and
reduces the severity of a crash with the
vehicle in front of you.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.

You can decrease or increase the gap
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you by pressing the gap control.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.
The selected gap appears in the
information display as shown by the bars
in the image. You can select five gap
settings.
