  • The braking control is automatically deactivated when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.

  • The braking control is automatically canceled when risk factors disappear.

The driver should always exercise caution when operating the vehicle, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.
