WARNING! (Continued)
•
The ACC system:
−
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming ve-
hicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped ve-
hicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
−
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi-
tions into account, and may be limited upon ad-
verse sight distance conditions.
−
Does not predict the lane curvature or the move-
ment of preceding vehicles and will not compen-
sate for such changes.
−
Does not always fully recognize complex driv-
ing conditions, which can result in wrong or
missing distance warnings.
−
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the
vehicle’s braking capability, and will not bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
•
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,
sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations
(i.e., in highway construction zones).
•
When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp;
when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or
downhill slopes.
•
When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
•
When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a
constant speed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision or serious personal injury.
