Adaptive Cruise Switches
1 — Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
On/Off
2 — Distance Setting – Decrease
3 — Distance Setting – Increase
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC
will apply limited braking or acceleration auto-
matically to maintain a preset following dis-
tance, 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.
To Activate Adaptive Cruise Control
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) On/Off button.
To Set A Desired 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.
NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
Varying The Speed
Once the ACC has been activated, the speed
can be increased or decreased.
• When you override and push the SET (+)
button or SET (-) buttons, the new set speed
will be the current speed of the vehicle.
• When you use the SET (-) button to deceler-
ate, if the engine's braking power does not
slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set
speed, the brake system will automatically
slow the vehicle.
• The ACC system applies the brake down to a
full stop when following a target vehicle. If
an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle
to a standstill, the host vehicle will release
the vehicle brakes two seconds after coming
to a full stop.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when
driving up hill and down hill. However, a
slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. In addition, downshifting may occur
