ACC will allow you to keep cruise control en-
gaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your cruise
control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor designed
to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accel-
eration (not to exceed the original Set
Speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver's responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, ve-
hicle 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 fol-
low these warnings can result in a collision
or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
− Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., 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 con-
ditions.

WARNING! (Continued)
− Does not predict the lane curvature or
the movement of preceding vehicles and
will not compensate for such changes.
− Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
− Can only apply a maximum of 25% of
the vehicle's braking capability, and will
not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construc-
tion zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are wind-
ing, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when
towing a trailer.
