Following a Vehicle

WARNINGS

When following a vehicle in front of

you, your vehicle does not decelerate

automatically to a stop, nor does your vehicle

always decelerate quickly enough to avoid

a crash without driver intervention. Always

apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to

do so may result in a crash, serious injury or

death.

Adaptive cruise control only warns of

radar-sensor-detected vehicles. In

some cases there may be no warning or a

delayed warning. You should always apply

the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so

may result in a crash, serious injury or death.

Note:

The brakes may emit a sound when

the adaptive cruise control system is active.

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the

same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the

same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to

maintain a preset gap distance. The distance

setting is adjustable.

The lead vehicle graphic illuminates.

When you are following a vehicle and you

switch on your left directional indicator,

adaptive cruise control may provide a small

temporary acceleration to help you pass.

The vehicle maintains a constant distance

between the vehicle ahead until:

•

The vehicle in front of you accelerates to

a speed above the set speed.

•

The vehicle in front of you moves out of

your lane or out of view.

•

The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20

km/h).

•

A new gap distance is set.

The vehicle applies brakes to slow the

vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the

vehicle in front. The maximum braking which

the system can apply is limited. You can

override the system by applying the brakes.

If the system predicts that its maximum

braking level is insufficient, an audible

warning sounds while the system continues

to brake. The red warning bar appears on

the windshield. You should take immediate

action.
