Disengaging adaptive cruise control

To disengage the adaptive cruise control:
• Depress the brake pedal. CRUISE CANCELLED will be displayed in
the message center.
Disengaging the adaptive cruise control will not erase your previous set
speed.

Overriding adaptive cruise control

WARNING: Whenever the driver is overriding the ACC by
pressing the accelerator pedal, the ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes to maintain separation from any vehicle ahead.
The set speed and gap distance can be overridden by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
When the driver is overriding ACC, the green
is illuminated, and CRUISE OVERRIDE is displayed in the message
center. When the accelerator is released, the ACC function will operate
again and vehicle speed will decrease to the set speed, or a lower speed
if following a slower vehicle.

Changing the set speed

There are three ways to change the
set speed:
• Accelerate or brake to the
desired speed and press and
release the SET + or SET –
control
• Increase or decrease the speed by
holding either the SET + or SET
– control, until the desired set
speed is shown on the message
center. The vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (2 km/h) by
briefly pressing the SET + or SET – control.
The ACC may apply the brakes to slow the vehicle down to the new set
speed. The set speed will display continuously in the message center
while ACC is active.
