current cruise control session.

Adaptive Cruise Control

before using
this feature.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to
traditional cruise control and is not a safety system.
It allows you to keep cruise control engaged in
moderate traffic conditions without having to constantly
be reset. Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to
detect a vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a
distance of 100 m (328 ft), and operates at speeds
above 48 km/h (30 mph). When it is engaged by the
driver, the system can apply limited braking or
acceleration of the vehicle, automatically, to maintain
a selected following distance to the vehicle ahead.
