If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control, the controls operate exactly
the same as Speed Control with only a couple
of differences. With this option, you can set
a specified distance you would like to main-
tain between you and the vehicle in front of
you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead
of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed.
NOTE:
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica-
tions to the vehicle will effect the perfor-
mance of the Adaptive Cruise Control and
Forward Collision Warning System.

Activation

Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button.
"ACC READY" will appear in the instrument
cluster display to indicate the ACC is on.

To Set A Desired ACC Speed

When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
push the SET (+) button or the SET (-) button
and release. The instrument cluster display
will show the set speed.
If the system is set when the vehicle speed is
below 20 mph (32 km/h), the set speed shall
be defaulted to 20 mph (32 km/h). If the
system is set when the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (32 km/h), the set speed shall
be the current speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary
vehicle in front of your vehicle in close prox-
imity.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal,
after the ACC has been set. If you do not, the
vehicle may continue to accelerate beyond
the set speed. If this occurs:
The message "ACC DRIVER OVERRIDE"

will display in the instrument cluster
display.
The system will not be controlling the

distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will only
be determined by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
