OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Accel/Decel
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RES + button and
release.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and
maintain the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly
the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a
specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front
of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a
standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Accel/Decel (ACC Only)
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
• Push and hold the RES + button to accelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments or
push and hold the SET – button to decelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments;
release the button to save the new set speed.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each
time the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium
(2), and short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next
time the vehicle is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (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.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can
be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard
(fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and
the system will maintain the speed you set.
