Adaptive
Cruise
Control
Adaptive
Cruise Control
(ACC) helps
you maintain
a
safe distance
between you and
vehicles
in
front
of you, eliminating the
need
to
resetyour
Cruise
Control
after braking.
When
you approach
a
slower-moving
vehicle
in
front of you,
ACC
will
automatically
slow
down
to that
vehicle's
speed
and
maintain
a
safe distance.
When
the
vehicle
is
no
longer
present,
ACC
will
accelerate
back
to
the
stored speed.
There
are
four preset distance settings
that can be adjusted using the distance
switch
on top
of the
stalk.
The
default
is
distance 3
and
will
reset to
that each
time you
turn
on
the
ignition.
'Adaptive
Cruise Control:
Optional feature

Important
Safety Instructions
and Warnings:
Cruise
Control
&
Adaptive
Cruise Control
Always pay
attention to
the
traffic
around you
when
the
Cruise Control
is
in
operation.
You
are
always
responsible for
your speed
and
the
distance
between
your
vehicle
and
other
vehicles.
For safety reasons.
Cruise
Control should not
be used
in
the
city,
in
stop-and-go
traffic,
on winding
roads
and
when
road conditions
are
poor
(such as
ice,
fog, gravel,
heavy
rain
and
hydroplaning)
because
this
increases
the
risk
of
an
accident.
Switch the
Cruise Control off
temporarily
when
driving
in
turning
lanes,
highway
exits
or
in
construction zones.
Please note that unconsciously
"resting"
your foot
on
the
accelerator
pedal prevents the
Cruise Control
from
braking. This
is
due
to the control
system
being overridden by the
driver's
acceleration.
If
a brake
system
malfunction, such as overheating, occurs
when
the
Cruise
Control
system
is
switched
on,
the braking function
in
the
system
may
be
switched
off.
The
rest
of the Cruise Control
system
functions
remain
active
as
long as
the
indicator
light
is
on.
You
should only
return
to the saved
speed
if it
is
not too
fast for
the current
traffic
conditions
-
risk
of
an
accident!
Improper
use of Adaptive
Cruise
Control
can cause
collisions,
other accidents
and
serious
personal
injury.
Never
let
the comfort and convenience
that Adaptive Cruise Control
and
braking
guard
offer distract
you from
the need
to
be
alert
to
traffic
conditions
and
the
need
to
remain
in
full
control of
your
vehicle at
all
times.
Always
remember
that the Adaptive
Cruise
Control
and
braking
guard have
limits:
they
will
not slow the
vehicle
down
or maintain
the
set distance
when
you
drive
toward an
obstacle or
something on
or
near the road that
is
not moving, such
as
vehicles
stopped
in
a
traffic
jam
or a
stalled
or disabled
vehicle.
If
registered
by the
radar sensors, vehicles or obstacles
that
are
not
moving
can
trigger a
collision
warning and
if
confirmed
by the video
camera, an acute
collision
warning.
For safety reasons,
do
not use Adaptive
Cruise Control
when
driving
on
roads with
many
curves,
when
the road
surface
is
in
poor
condition
and/or
in
bad
weather
(such as
ice,
fog, gravel,
heavy
rain
and
hydroplaning). Using
the system under these
conditions could
result
in
a collision.
Switch Adaptive
Cruise
Control
off
temporarily
when
driving
in
turning
lanes,
on expressway
exits
or
in
construction zones. This prevents the vehicle
from
accelerating to
the set
speed
when
in
these
situations.
The
Adaptive
Cruise Control
system
will
not brake by
itself
if
you putyourfoot on
the
accelerator pedal.
Doing so can
override
the
speed and
distance
regulation.
When
approaching
stationary
objects,
such
as
stopped
traffic.
Adaptive
Cruise Control
will
not respond and
braking
guard
will
have
limited function.
The
Adaptive
Cruise Control
system and
braking
guard
do
not
react to people, animals,
and
objects crossing
the
road
or
oncoming
objects.
The
function
of the
radar sensors can
be
affected
by
reflective
objects
such as
guardrails,
the entrance
to
a
tunnel,
heavy
rain
or
ice.
Never
follow a
vehicle
so
closely
that
you cannot
stop
your
vehicle
safely.
The
Adaptive
Cruise Control
cannot slow
or brake
the
vehicle safely
when
you
follow
another
vehicle
too
closely.
Always
remember
that
the automatic
braking function
cannot
bring
the
vehicle
to
a
sudden
or
emergency
stop
under
these
conditions.
To prevent unintended
operation,
always switch Adaptive
Cruise
Control
off
when
it is
not being
used.
