PRECAUTIONS ON VEHICLE-TOVEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in the same lane and direction. If the distance sensor A detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the selected distance. The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if necessary. The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead. ● This system will not adapt automatically to road conditions. This system should be used in evenly flowing traffic. 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 under most conditions: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles ● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway ● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane ● Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane This system will not automatically brake the vehicle to a stop. 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. Decelerate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. ● Although the brake operation is controlled by the system, the system does not automatically stop the vehicle. If the vehicle speed falls below approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h), the Intelligent Cruise Control system is automatically canceled and a warning chime sounds. (The brake control is also canceled.) ● 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 system 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. 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. ● The system is primarily intended for use on straight, dry, open roads with light traffic. It is not advisable to use the system in city traffic or congested areas. 5-22 Starting and driving
