Distance Control Assist (DCA) system (if so equipped)
The Distance Control Assist (DCA) system brakes and moves the accelerator pedal upward according to the distance from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance.
WARNING
● Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Distance Control Assist system. Read and understand the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the DCA system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle’s speed in emergency situations.
Do not use the Distance Control Assist system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill with a warning chime. To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
● The DCA system will not apply brake control while the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal.
