Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
� Continued from previous page
• Adaptive Cruise Control is designed for use on expressways, freeways, toll
roads, interstate highways and similar limited access roads. It is not intended
to be used in city traffic. In the following conditions, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Ordinary roads (roads other than those mentioned above)
Depending on the driving environment (complexity of roads and other factors),
the system may not be able to perform as the traffic conditions
require, and that may result in an accident.
- Sharp corners or winding roads
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or other slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Traffic conditions when frequent acceleration and deceleration make it difficult
to maintain the following distance
It may not be possible for the system to perform as the traffic conditions
require.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- Roads and overpasses with repeated steep uphill and downhill grades
Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface may be
detected instead of the vehicle in front, making correct control impossible.
- Entering a sharp corner/turn into an interchange or junction, or a service
area, parking area, toll booth or other facilities
Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
- There are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
