174 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• When you use the SET - button to decelerate, if the

engine's braking power does not slow the vehicle

sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system

will automatically slow the vehicle.

• The ACC system can only apply a maximum of 25% of

the vehicle's braking capability and will not bring the

vehicle to a complete stop.

• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up

hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on

moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting

may occur while climbing uphill or descending down-

hill. This is normal operation and necessary to main-

tain set speed.
