STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
•
Keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal can
cause the vehicle to continue to accelerate beyond
the set speed.
•
If you continue to accelerate beyond the set speed
while ACC is enabled, the system will not be control-
ling the distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will only be deter-
mined by the position of the accelerator pedal.
To Cancel
The following conditions cancel ACC:
•
The brake pedal is applied
•
The CANC (cancel) button is pushed
•
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) activates
•
The gear selector is removed from the DRIVE
position
•
The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Control Sys-
tem (ESC/TCS) activates
•
The vehicle parking brake is applied
•
The braking temperature exceeds normal range
(overheated)
•
Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds
•
Driver door is opened at low speeds
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and clear the set speed in
memory if:
•
The Mode button is pushed
•
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
To Resume
If ACC was canceled, and there is a set speed in
memory, push the RES (resume) button and remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal. The instrument
cluster display will show the last set speed.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph
(0 km/h) when ACC is active.
NOTE:
ACC cannot be resumed if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if traffic
and road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed
that is too high or too low for prevailing traffic and
road conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate
or decelerate too sharply for safe operation. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can adjust the speed by
pushing the SET switch upward or decrease the speed
by pushing the SET switch downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
•
Pushing the SET switch upward or downward to the
first detent will result in a 1 mph speed adjustment.
Each subsequent movement of the switch to the
first detent will result in an adjustment of 1 mph.
•
If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly
to the second detent, the set speed will adjust in
5 mph increments. The new set speed is reflected in
the instrument cluster display.
•
If the switch is held upward or downward, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is
released.
Metric Speed (km/h)
•
Pushing the SET switch upward or downward to the first
detent will result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each
subsequent movement of the switch to the first detent
will result in an adjustment of 1 km/h.
•
If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly
to the second detent, the set speed will adjust in
10 km/h increments. The new set speed is reflected
in the instrument cluster display.
•
If the switch is held upward or downward, the set speed
will continue to adjust until the switch is released.
NOTE:
•
When you override the set speed by pushing the SET
switch upward or downward, the new set speed will
be the current speed of the vehicle.
•
When you use the SET switch to decelerate, 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 maintains set speed when driving
uphill and downhill. However, a slight speed change
on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshift-
ing may occur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and necessary to
maintain set speed. When driving uphill and down-
hill, the ACC system will cancel if the braking tem-
perature exceeds normal range (overheated).
