During Operation
n
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.
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.
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
n
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 instrument panel (see page
26).
After 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).
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
