the distance control function,
never rely solely on the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control system. This
system does not correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibil-
ity in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle
speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the sur-
rounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
O Although the brake operation is
controlled by the system, the sys-
tem does not automatically stop
the vehicle. If the vehicle speed
falls below approximately 20
MPH (32 km/h), the Intelligent
Cruise Control system is auto-
matically canceled and a warning
buzzer sounds. (The brake control
is also canceled.)
O 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 system
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.
— During bad weather (rain,
fog, snow, etc.)
(When the windshield wiper
is operated at the low speed
(LO) or high speed (HI) posi
tions, the Intelligent Cruise
Control system is automati-
cally canceled.)
— When strong light (for ex-
ample, at sunrise or sunset)
is directly to the front of the
vehicle.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad-
here to the system sensor
cover.
— On steep downhill roads (the
vehicle may go beyond the
set vehicle speed and fre-
quent braking may result in
overheating the brakes).
— On repeated uphill and down-
hill roads.
— When traffic conditions make
it difficult to keep a proper
