During Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is turned on, the system maintains,
accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle's set speed to keep the vehicle's set
following interval from the vehicle ahead.
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed
when you press the accelerator pedal. ACC stays
on unless you cancel it. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resumes the set
speed or a sufficient speed to maintain the following
interval.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and BrAKe appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle's brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
Canceling ACC
Press the CANCeL or MAIN button, or press the brake
pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display
(see page 23).
After adaptive cruise control has been canceled, you
can still resume the prior set speed by pressing reS/+
when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
