OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC.
• To increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Increase button and
release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Decrease button
and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by
one bar (shorter).
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, press the ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal
(Fixed Speed) Speed Control OFF.
• Pressing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in
turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC), and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited
autonomous braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react,
avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is "On", this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies
limited braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision.
The forward collision button is located below the climate controls, on the switch
panel.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once to turn the
system OFF (led turns on).
• To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again to turn
the system ON (led turns off).
