● This system will not adapt automatically to road conditions. This system should be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not use the sys- tem on roads with sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog. The distance sensor will not detect under most conditions: lane This system will not automatically brake the ve- hicle to a stop. WARNING ● As there is a performance limit to the dis- tance control function, never rely solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control system. This system does not correct careless, inatten- tive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by de- pressing the brake pedal, depending on the distance to the vehicle ahead and the sur- rounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. ● Although the brake operation is controlled by the system, the system does not auto- matically 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 condi- tions. To avoid accidents, never use the In- telligent 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. – During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) the low speed (LO) or high speed (HI) po- sition, the Intelligent Cruise Control sys- tem is automatically canceled. – When strong light (for example, at sun- rise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle – When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the sys- tem sensor – On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed and fre- quent braking may result in overheating the brakes) – On repeated uphill and downhill roads keep a proper distance between vehicles because of frequent acceleration or deceleration ● Do not use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys- tem if you are towing a trailer. The system may not detect a vehicle ahead. 5-28 Starting and driving w — — 05/15/09—pattie X |
