NOTE:
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead

of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,

ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration
(not to exceed the original set speed) auto-
matically to maintain a preset following
distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
Adaptive Cruise Control mode for main-

taining an appropriate distance between
vehicles.
Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control mode

for cruising at a constant preset speed. For
additional information, refer to "Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode" in this
section.
NOTE:
Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control will not
react to preceding vehicles. Always be aware of
the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the cruise
control buttons. The two control modes function
differently. Always confirm which mode is
selected.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-

nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver 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 opera-
tion 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).
STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING! (Continued)
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.
You should turn the ACC system off:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy

snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construc-
tion 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.
