“Warning: Traffic-Aware cruise Control can not brake / slow down for stationary vehicles, especially in situations when driving above 50 mph (80 km / h) and a vehicle following moves off the roadway and a stationary vehicle or object is in front of you instead. Always pay attention to the road ahead and be prepared to take immediate corrective action.
