218 Driving and Operating
Reducing Speed While ACC Is at a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one of the
following:
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 briefly. For each
press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
To decrease the vehicle speed in larger
increments, hold SET . While holding
SET , the vehicle speed decreases to the
next 5 km/h (5 mph) step, then continues
to decrease by 5 km/h (5 mph) at a time.
The set speed can also be decreased while
the vehicle is stopped.
If stopped with the brake applied, press
or hold SET until the desired set speed is
displayed.
Selecting the Follow Distance Gap
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. Each press cycles the gap
button through three settings: Far, Medium,
or Near.
When pressed, the current gap setting
displays briefly on the instrument cluster.
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 0 228.
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, the collision
alert symbol will flash on the windshield.
Either eight beeps will sound from the front,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat (if
equipped) will pulse five times. See
Collision/Detection Systems under Vehicle
Personalization 0 107.
See Defensive Driving 0 184.
