Selecting the Follow Distance Gap
When a slower moving vehicle is
detected ahead within the selected
following gap, ACC will adjust the
vehicle's speed and attempt to
maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press on the steering wheel to
adjust the following gap.
When pressed, the current gap setting
displays briefly on the instrument
cluster and HUD. The gap setting will
be maintained until it is changed.
Since each gap setting corresponds to
a following time (Far, Medium,
or Near), the following distance will
vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the further
back your vehicle will follow a vehicle
detected ahead. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the
following gap. The range of selectable
gaps may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.

be active in order to change the gap
setting used by the ACC feature.
If ACC is not active, the gap button
will modify the alert timing sensitivity
(Far, Medium, or Near) for the
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) feature.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
