CAUTION

■

Before using dynamic radar cruise control

Do not overly rely on vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.

appropriate, adjust the vehicle speed, as well as the distance between your vehicle

and vehicles ahead by applying the brakes, etc.

■

To avoid inadvertent cruise control activation

Keep the ON-OFF button off when not in use.
