WARNING

.

As there is a performance limit to the

distance

control

function,

never

rely

solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control

system. This system does not correct

careless, inattentive or absent-minded

driving, or overcome poor visibility in

rain, fog, or other bad weather. Decele-

rate the vehicle speed by depressing the

brake pedal, depending on the distance

to the vehicle ahead and the surround-

ing circumstances in order to maintain a

safe distance between vehicles.

.

If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the

vehicle decelerates to a standstill within

the

limitations

of

the

system.

The

system will cancel once it judges that

the vehicle has come to a standstill and

sound a warning chime. To prevent the

vehicle from moving, the driver must

depress the brake pedal.

.

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 sys-

tem 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, etc.

—

During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

When the windshield wiper is oper-

ated at the low speed (LO) or high

speed (HI) position, the Intelligent

Cruise Control system is automati-

cally canceled.

—

When strong light (for example, at

sunrise or sunset) is directly shining

on the front of the vehicle

—

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the

system sensor

—

On steep downhill roads (the vehicle

may go beyond the set vehicle speed

and frequent braking may result in

overheating the brakes)

—

On

repeated

uphill

and

downhill

roads

—

When traffic conditions make it diffi-

cult to keep a proper distance be-

tween vehicles because of frequent

acceleration or deceleration

.

Do not use the Intelligent Cruise Control

system if you are towing a trailer. The

system may not detect a vehicle ahead.

.

In some road or traffic conditions, a

vehicle or object can unexpectedly come

into

the

sensor

detection

zone

and

cause automatic braking. You may need

to

control

the

distance

from

other

vehicles

using

the

accelerator

pedal.

Always stay alert and avoid using the

ICC system when it is not recommended

in this section.
