Warning lamps
The display flashes and a chime 
sounds. 
The system asks you to intervene 
by braking or with an evasive 
maneuver. The active cruise control cannot 
automatically restore the distance to the vehicle 
driving ahead. 
The display does not relieve you of the respon-
sibility for adapting desired speed and driving 
style to traffic conditions.
Automatic intervention by ABS or 
DSC. The active cruise control 
intervenes by braking until you 
actively intervene.
Radar sensor
Heavy rain and also dirt, snow, or ice can limit 
the detection of vehicles ahead. If needed, 
clean the radar sensor under the front bumper. 
When doing so, be particularly careful in remov-
ing layers of snow and ice.
If the sensor is not aligned properly, the active 
cruise control cannot be activated.
Things to know about active cruise control
As with conventional cruise control sys-
tems, active cruise control in no way 
diminishes or substitutes for the driver's own 
personal responsibility, alertness, and aware-
ness in adjusting speed, braking, or otherwise 
controlling the vehicle. The driver should 
decide when to use the system on the basis of 
road, traffic, visibility, and weather conditions. 
Active cruise control is intended for use on 
highway-type roadways where traffic is moving 
relatively smoothly. Do not use this system in 
city driving; heavy traffic such as during rush 
hour; on curvy, winding roads, slippery roads or 
roads with sharp curves such as highway off-
ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, 
strong rain or fog; or when entering inter-
changes, service/parking areas or toll booths. 
It is also important to regulate your vehicle's 
speed and distance setting within applicable 
legal limits. Always be ready to take action or 
apply the brakes if necessary, especially when 
the system is actively following a vehicle in front 
of you.
<
Always remember that the range and abil-
ity of the system do have physical limita-
tions. It will not apply the brakes or decelerate 
your vehicle when there is a slow-moving vehi-
cle, stopped vehicle or stationary object ahead
