The

detection

range

of

the

WARNING

.

This system is only an aid to assist the

driver and is not a collision warning or

avoidance

device.

It

is

the

driver

’

s

responsibility to stay alert, drive safely

and be in control of the vehicle at all

times.

.

This system will not adapt automatically

to

road

conditions.

Do

not

use

the

system on roads with sharp curves, or

on icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

The distance sensor will not detect the

following objects:

.

Stationary and slow moving vehicles

.

Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

.

Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

.

Motorcycles

traveling

offset

in

the

travel lane

WARNING

.

As there is a performance limit to the

distance

control

function,

never

rely

solely on the Distance Control Assist

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.

.

The system may not detect the vehicle

in front of you in certain road or weather

conditions. To

avoid

accidents,

never

use the Distance Control Assist system

under the following conditions:

—

On roads with sharp curves

—

On slippery road surfaces such as on

ice or snow, etc.

—

During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

—

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

(frequent

braking may result in overheating the

brakes)

—

On

repeated

uphill

and

downhill

roads

.

Do not use the Distance Control Assist

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

DCA

system

when

it

is

not

recom-

mended in this section.
