Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same
traffic lane is detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle
in front (up to the maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining
a following distance that corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. Through operation
of the electronic parking brake, the system uses the vehicle’s conventional braking system
to stop your vehicle when the vehicle in front is stopped. The vehicle is capable of being
controlled at a speed between approximately 0 and 90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
This system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not
intended to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to
what is ahead of him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to prevent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other
action as necessary.
Set the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road conditions and surrounding environment.
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”.
