9-46 Driving and Operating
ACC may occasionally provide an
alert and/or braking that is
considered unnecessary. It could
respond to vehicles in different
lanes, signs, guardrails, and other
stationary objects when entering or
exiting a curve. This is normal
operation. The vehicle does not
need service.
Other Vehicle Lane Changes
ACC will not detect a vehicle ahead
until it is completely in the lane. The
brake may need to be manually
applied.
Do Not Use ACC on Hills and
When Towing a Trailer
Do not use ACC when driving on
steep hills or when towing a trailer.
ACC will not detect a vehicle in the
lane while driving on steep hills. The
driver will often need to take over
acceleration and braking on steep
hills, especially when towing a
trailer. If the brakes are applied, the
ACC disengages.
Ending ACC
To disengage ACC, do one of the
following:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.

Press a Regen on Demand
paddle.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The radar sensor on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These areas
need to be cleaned for ACC to
operate properly.
For cleaning instructions, see
Washing the Vehicle under
Exterior Care on page 10-80.
System operation may also be
limited under snow, heavy rain,
or road spray conditions.
