• If own vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with the chime and DCA system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
  • The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
  • The chime sounds.
• The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:
  • When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between vehicles is not changing
  • When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles is increasing
  • When a vehicle cuts in near own vehicle
• The warning chime will not sound when own vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
