the system is interrupted and the distance indi-
cator goes out until the pedal is fully released. 
As soon as you fully release the accelerator, the 
system will again control your cruising speed 
and distance setting. While driving with the sys-
tem activated, resting your foot on the acceler-
ator pedal will cause the system not to brake 
even if necessary. Be certain that floor mats or 
other objects on the vehicle floor do not inter-
fere with movement of the accelerator pedal.

While active cruise control is capable of 
braking your vehicle automatically when 
you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is 
important to be aware that the ability of the sys-
tem to apply the brakes is also limited, e.g. 
when you reduce your desired speed sharply. It 
uses only a portion of braking system capacity 
and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehi-
cle braking system. Therefore, the system can-
not decrease your speed for large differences in 
speed between your vehicle and the vehicle 
ahead. Examples: when you approach a vehicle 
traveling at a much lower speed than your own 
speed such as approaching a toll booth or when 
a much slower vehicle cuts in front of you at 
close range.
