If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will either have to press the RES (resume) button, or apply the accelerator
pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.
NOTE:
After the ACC system holds your vehicle at a standstill for approximately three consecutive
minutes, the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC system will be cancelled.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is unbuckled or the
driver door is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC system will be cancelled.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated as
a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control
mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, press the ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal (Fixed Speed)
Speed Control OFF.
• Pressing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in turning
ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver's responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and
weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly,
brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 40% of the vehicle's braking capability, and will not
bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
