200 Driving and Operating
Use the brake to get to the desired lower
speed. Release the brake and press -SET.
The vehicle will now cruise at the lower
speed.
Press and hold -SET until the desired
lower speed is reached, then release it.
To decrease the vehicle speed in smaller
increments, press -SET down briefly. For
each press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
To decrease vehicle speed in larger
increments, briefly press and hold -SET.
For each press, the vehicle goes 5 km/h
(5 mph) slower.
Selecting the Follow Distance
When a slower moving vehicle is detected
ahead within the selected following gap,
ACC will adjust the vehicle's speed and
attempt to maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press on the steering wheel to adjust
the following gap. When pressed, the
current gap setting displays briefly on the
instrument cluster. Subsequent presses cycle
the gap button through three settings: Far,
Medium, or Near. The gap setting will be
maintained until it is changed.
Since each gap setting corresponds to a
following time (Far, Medium, or Near), the
following distance will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the
further back your vehicle will follow a
vehicle detected ahead. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the
following gap. The range of selectable gaps
may not be appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
Changing the gap setting automatically
changes the alert timing sensitivity (Far,
Medium, or Near) for the Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) feature. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System 0 209.
Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver action may be
required when ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because of approaching a vehicle
too rapidly.
When this condition occurs, a series of red
lights will flash on the windshield and eight
beeps will sound from the front.
See Defensive Driving 0 173.
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster.
It only displays when a vehicle is detected
in your vehicle s path moving in the same
direction.
If this symbol is not displaying, ACC will not
respond to or brake to vehicles ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle down
and adjusts vehicle speed to follow the
vehicle in front at the selected following
gap. The vehicle speed increases or
decreases to follow the vehicle in front of
you, but will not exceed the set speed.
It may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When braking is active, the brake lamps will
