setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates
and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This
distance setting displays in the instrument clus-
ter display.
Distance Setting 4 Bars (Longest)
Distance Setting 3 Bars (Long)
156
Distance Setting 2 Bars (Medium)
Distance Setting 1 Bar (Short)
To increase the distance setting, push the Dis-
tance Setting — Increase button and release.
Each time the button is pushed, the distance
setting increases by one bar (longer).
To decrease the distance setting, push the Dis-
tance Setting — Decrease button and release.
Each time the button is pushed, the distance
setting decreases by one bar (shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will
maintain the set speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is detected in the same lane, the instru-
ment cluster displays the "Sensed Vehicle Indi-
cator" icon, and the system adjusts vehicle
speed automatically to maintain the distance
setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance
until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or
view of the sensor.
• The distance setting is changed.
• The system disengages. (Refer to the infor-
mation on ACC Activation).
The maximum braking applied by ACC is lim-
ited; however, the driver can always apply the
brakes manually, if necessary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the
ACC system applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert "BRAKE" will flash in the
instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maxi-
mum braking capacity.
