Adaptive cruise control limitations apply

Limitations (page 272).

Sensor Limitations

WARNING: On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the

road infrastructures, for example bridges,

tunnels and safety barriers. In these

cases, the system may brake late or

unexpectedly. At all times, you are

responsible for controlling your vehicle,

supervising the system and intervening,

if required.

The system may not correctly operate in

any of the following conditions:

•

The lane is too narrow or wide.

The system does not detect at least

one lane marking or when lanes merge

or split.

•

Limited steering torque input is applied.

WARNING: If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked

as soon as possible.

Areas under construction or new

infrastructure.

•

When modifications to the steering

system have been made.

When using a spare tire.

WARNING: Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor

performance.

Note: The driving assistance torque is

limited and may not be sufficient for all

driving situations such as driving through

tight curves or driving through curves at high

speeds.

WARNING: The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.

In some cases there may be no warning

or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes

when necessary. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in personal injury

or death.

Note: In exceptional conditions, the system

may deviate from the center line.

WARNING: The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving

vehicles below 10 km/h (6 mph).

WARNING: The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING: The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same

lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control ^{(If Equipped)}

Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of

dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front

protectors, aftermarket lights, additional

paint or plastic coatings could also degrade

sensor performance.

WARNING: The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.

Keep the windshield free from

obstruction.

A message displays if something obstructs

the camera or the sensor. When something

blocks the sensor, the system cannot

detect a vehicle ahead and does not

function. See Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages (page 285).

WARNING: The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other

structures or objects. This can result in

a false or missed warning.

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.

It may not detect vehicles at all or detect

a vehicle later than expected in some

situations. The lead vehicle image does

not illuminate if the system does not

detect a vehicle in front of you.

E307893

The camera is mounted on the windshield

behind the interior mirror.

E307892

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.

Note: You cannot see the sensor. It is

behind a fascia panel.

Adaptive Cruise Control(If Equipped)

Detection issues can occur:

Optimal system performance requires a

clear view of the road by the

windshield-mounted camera.

Optimal performance may not occur if:

•

The camera is blocked.

There is poor visibility or lighting

conditions.

•

There are bad weather conditions.

Automatic Cancellation or

Deactivation

In these cases, the system may brake late

or unexpectedly.

The system may cancel if:

•

The tires lose traction.

You apply the parking brake.

The engine speed is too low.

If something hits the front end of your

vehicle or damage occurs, the

radar-sensing zone may change. This could

cause missed or false vehicle detection.
