PRECAUTIONS ON
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and di-
rection.
If the distance sensor
q
A
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
duce the vehicle speed so that your ve-
hicle follows the vehicle in front at the se-
lected distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
25% of vehicle braking power) if neces-
sary.
The detection range of the sensor is ap-
proximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
WARNING
O
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
O
The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the sys-
tem in city traffic or congested areas.
O
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:
O
Stationary and slow moving vehicles
O
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
O
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
O
Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
This system will not automatically brake
the vehicle to a stop.
WARNING
O
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. Decel-
erate the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the sur-
rounding circumstances in order to
maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
