J Cautions F Do not rely too much on dynamic radar 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 radar cruise control is not a collision−avoidance system. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance. F Dynamic radar cruise control should not be used in the following conditions: D In bad weather (such as rain, fog, snow, sandstorms) D Raindrops or snowflakes get in the millimeter wave radar sensor or the grille cover 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 Acceleration or deceleration must be repeated 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.
