Even when the vehicle in front is detected, the system may not be able to decelerate in time in cases such as when the difference in speeds is large or when the vehicle in front decelerates suddenly. Operate the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary. Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes. *Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. If the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
