activate the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. Always leave
the system off when you are not
using it.
Setting the Speed
When vehicle reaches required speed,
press down and release the
multifunction control (SET -). The
display will show set speed
corresponding to vehicle current one.
Speed value will be indicated below
the green symbol and above the
distance bars, in the center of the
display.
Remove foot from accelerator pedal
and vehicle will continue at set speed.
Driver Override
If driver accelerates beyond the set
speed or faster than the car would do
autonomously, the display will show a
message indicating that system was
temporarily disabled by driver
override but it is still set. In this
condition, system cannot control the
distance between vehicle and sensed
vehicle ahead. Vehicle speed will be
determined only by the accelerator
pedal position.
Changing Speed Setting
Once speed is set, driver can increase
or decrease it by respectively pressing
multifunction control up (RES +) or
down (SET -). Speed can be increased
or decreased in two ways:
• Pressing control once, set speed will
increase or decrease by one unit
corresponding to 1 km/h (1 mph).
• Hold the control to increase or
decrease set speed by 10 km/h
(5 mph) at a time.
NOTE:
• When pressing the multifunction
control up (RES +) or down (SET -),
the new set speed will be the current
speed of the vehicle.
• When using (SET -) control to
decelerate, if the engine braking
power does not slow down the
vehicle sufficiently to reach the set
speed, the brake system will
automatically slow down 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, after two-three seconds
the system will not be able to
resume driving the car
autonomously. As this point it is
necessary the intervention of the
driver on the multifunction control
(press SET- or RES+) or press the
accelerator pedal (see "ACC
Operation Before and During Stop"
in this chapter).
• 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 while
climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set speed.
When driving uphill and downhill,
the ACC system will cancel if the
braking temperature exceeds normal
range.
Temporary Deactivation
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the multifunction control (CANC), or
normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
