Note: If the ACC system predicts that its maximum braking level will not
be sufficient, then an audible warning will sound while the ACC
continues to brake. This is accompanied by DRIVER INTERVENE
displayed in the message center. The driver should take immediate
action.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by
the adaptive cruise control system.
WARNING: Adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles
detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be no
warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always
apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
collision, serious injury or death.
