while climbing uphill or descending down-
hill. This is normal operation and necessary
to maintain set speed. When driving up hill
and down hill, the ACC system will cancel if
the braking temperature exceeds normal
range (overheated).
To Resume
If there is a set speed in memory, push the RES
(resume) button and then remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal. The instrument cluster
display will show the last set speed.
NOTE:
• If your vehicle stays at standstill for longer
than two seconds, the system will cancel and
the brake force will be ramped-out. The
driver will have to apply the brakes to keep
the vehicle at a standstill.
• ACC cannot be resumed if there is a station-
ary vehicle in front of your vehicle in close
proximity.
To Deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) On/Off button a second time to turn the
system off.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a
standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds
of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for
any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a stand-
still, 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.
NOTE:
After the ACC system holds your vehicle at a
standstill for approximately three consecutive
minutes, the parking brake will be activated,
and the ACC system will be canceled.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at
a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is unbuckled
or the driver door is opened, the parking brake
will be activated, and the ACC system will be
canceled.
