Adaptive Cruise Control
■ “Brake more” warning
The “brake more” warning is activated while Adaptive Cruise Control is tracking a lead
vehicle.
The “brake more” warning warns the driver when it determines that deceleration by current
driver braking control is insufficient.
When the ‘brake more’ function operates, the lead vehicle indicator will flash and a buzzer
will sound several short beeps. In addition, a pop-up screen will be displayed on the multi
function display (for Canada). For USA models, the warning message appears on the meter
display, above the multi function display.
When this function activates, depress the brake pedal as necessary to decelerate and
maintain a correct following distance.

distance is gradually increasing.)

The “brake more” warning may not activate in time in the case of a vehicle that
is stopped at the end of a line at a toll gate, at a stop light or intersection or in
traffic congestion, or a vehicle that is moving much slower than your vehicle.
