AVALON (QRG_U) J Cautions F Do not rely too much on dynamic laser cruise control. Vehicle- to- vehicle distance control has its limitations. Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other vehicles. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance. F Dynamic laser cruise control is not a collision- avoidance system. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance. F Dynamic laser cruise control should not be used in the following conditions: D In bad weather (such as rain, fog, snow, sandstorms) D In direct sunlight from the front D Raindrops or snowflakes get in the laser radar sensor glass D On the roads in heavy traffic or at sharp bends D On slippery road surfaces (icy or snow- covered road surfaces) D On steep downhill slopes D Continual acceleration or deceleration (such as on busy traffic) D On roads with steep and short inclines and declines In any conditions of the above, an appropriate vehicle- to- vehicle distance control may not be attained. F This system is not provided to justify careless driving. Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other vehicles. F The dynamic laser cruise control should not be used when exiting from, or when entering or merging onto a freeway. When you are following a slower moving vehicle and exiting, the sensor does not detect the vehicle and will accelerate to preset speed. O002qrg O003qrg −3− 2006 AVALON from Aug. '05 Prod. (OM41417U)
