WHAT IS INTELLIGENT  
CONTROL WORK  
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL  
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor  
to adjust your vehicle speed to maintain a  
set gap between you and the vehicle in  
front of you in the same lane.  
Intelligent adaptive cruise control  
combines speed sign recognition with  
adaptive cruise control to adjust the cruise  
set speed to the speed limit detected by  
the speed sign recognition system. For  
example, if the speed sign recognition  
system detects a 80 km/h (50 mph)  
speed limit, the cruise set speed is updated  
to 80 km/h (50 mph) +/- the driver's  
selected speed offset.

WORK  
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go  
uses radar and camera sensors to adjust  
the speed of your vehicle to maintain a set  
gap from the vehicle in front of you in the  
same lane while following it to a complete  
stop. You can also engage the system to  
follow a vehicle in front of you and adjust  
set speed while stopped.  
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap  
setting operates normally.

WARNING: Do not use the system  
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy  
rain, spray or snow.  
When Following a Vehicle  
WARNING: Pay close attention to  
changing road conditions such as  
entering or leaving a highway, on roads  
with intersections or roundabouts, roads  
without visible lanes of travel, roads that  
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep  
slopes.  
WARNING: When following a  
vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does  
not always decelerate quickly enough to  
avoid a crash without driver intervention.  
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure  
to follow this instruction could result in  
personal injury or death.  
WARNING: The system does not  
control speed in low traction conditions  
or extremely steep slopes. The system  
is designed to be an aid and does not  
relieve you of your responsibility to drive  
with due care and attention. Failure to  
follow this instruction could result in  
personal injury.  
Hilly Condition Usage  
You should select a lower gear when the  
system is active in situations such as  
prolonged downhill driving on steep  
grades, for example in mountainous areas.  
The system needs additional engine  
braking in these situations to reduce the  
load on the vehicles regular brake system  
to prevent it from overheating.  
WARNING: The system is not a  
crash warning or avoidance system.  
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the  
system shuts down if it applies brakes for  
an extended period of time. This allows the  
brakes to cool. The system functions  
normally again after the brakes cool.  
WARNING: Do not use the system  
when towing a trailer that has  
aftermarket electronic trailer brake  
controls. Failure to follow this instruction  
could result in the loss of control of your  
vehicle, personal injury or death.
