CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS

Your vehicle is equipped with the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) system which will adjust the vehicle speed
up to the preset speed to maintain a distance with the
vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving Assist
(ADA) system:
●
Fixed Speed Cruise Control can be used when ACC is
not enabled, and functions as normal cruise control.
●
Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not detect vehicles
directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature
selected.
●
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is
enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be unavailable,
and vice versa.

TOP TART
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling
on highways and major roadways. However, it is not a
safety system and not designed to prevent collisions.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in
light to moderate traffic conditions without the constant
need to reset your speed. ACC utilizes a radar sensor
and a forward facing camera designed to detect a
vehicle directly ahead of you to maintain a set speed.
.
NOTE:
●
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed
C (ACC)
RUISE ONTROL
the original set speed) automatically to maintain a
preset following distance, while matching the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
●
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications
to the vehicle will affect the performance of
the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision
Warning system.
●
In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving
Assist system, Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not
enabled) will not detect vehicles directly ahead of
you. Always be aware of the feature selected.
WARNING!
●
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver
involvement. It is always the driver's responsibility
to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all
road conditions. Your complete attention is always
required while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
●
The ACC system:
○
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
○
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
