ADJUSTING DISTANCE (CONTINUED)
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic 
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the 
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver 
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to 
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

     slower than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
