buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to
the vehicle in front.
WARNING

front vehicle, e.g. at a freeway exit or
when your vehicle or the front vehicle
changes its lane, your vehicle may acceler-
ate up to the set speed. Apply the brake, if
necessary, to slow down.
