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
maximum braking capacity.
NOTE:
The "BRAKE!" screen in the instrument cluster
display is a warning for the driver to take action
and does not necessarily mean that the
Forward Collision Warning system is applying
the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
engaged and following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to the ACC
set speed to assist in passing the vehicle. This
additional acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilizes the left turn signal and will only be
active when passing on the left hand side.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a
standstill while following a vehicle ahead, your
vehicle will resume motion, without any driver
interaction, if the vehicle ahead starts moving
within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving
within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will either have to push the
RES (resume) button, or apply the accelerator
pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing set
speed.
While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a
standstill, if the driver seat belt is unbuckled or
the driver door is opened, the ACC with Stop
system will cancel and the brakes will release.
A cancel message will display on the instrument
cluster display and produce a warning chime.
The driver must now manually operate the
vehicle's accelerator and brakes.
STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must
ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.
Display Warnings And Maintenance
"Wipe Front Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle"
Warning
The "ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe Front Radar
Sensor" warning will display and a chime will
sound when conditions temporarily limit system
performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may
also become temporarily blinded due to
obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the instrument cluster display will display the
above message and the system will deactivate.
