Courtesy Gap
You can temporarily increase the follow
distance gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead of you to allow more space
for merging traffic.
When your vehicle is moving, press and
hold on the steering wheel to
temporarily increase the gap distance.
When you release , ACC may
accelerate to resume the ACC set speed
while maintaining the normal gap
distance setting.
When your vehicle is stopped, press and
hold to prevent ACC from
automatically resuming the set speed,
which can allow for merging traffic to
merge between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead of you. When you are
ready to resume ACC, briefly press and
release the thumbwheel up to +RES,
or the apply the accelerator pedal.
Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver action may be
required when ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because your vehicle is approaching
a vehicle ahead too quickly.
When this condition occurs, the red collision
alert symbol will flash on the windshield.
Either eight beeps will sound from the front,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will
pulse five times. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch Settings
> Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
See Defensive Driving 0 183.
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
Driving and Operating
The vehicle ahead indicator light is displayed
in the instrument cluster and the HUD,
if equipped. It only displays when a vehicle
is detected in your vehicle s path and is
moving in the same direction. If the vehicle
ahead indicator light does not appear in the
instrument cluster, then ACC will not
respond to, or brake for, vehicles ahead.
While ACC is active, ACC will automatically
adjust your vehicle s speed to follow a
detected vehicle ahead according to the
selected following gap setting. ACC may
decrease your vehicle s cruise speed when
following a detected vehicle ahead that is
traveling slower than your ACC set speed.
ACC may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When ACC automatic braking is active, the
brake lamps will turn on. The automatic
braking may feel or sound different than if
the brakes were applied manually. This is
normal.
Passing a Vehicle While Using ACC
If the set speed is high enough, and the left
turn signal is used to pass a vehicle ahead
in the selected following gap, ACC may
assist by gradually accelerating the vehicle
prior to the lane change.
