OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)

If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control the controls operate ex-
actly the same as the electronic speed
control with only a couple of differences.
With this option you can set a specified
distance you would like to maintain be-
tween 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 match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.

ACC ON/OFF

• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or
Driver Information Display (DID) to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time
to turn the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) to indicate the ACC is off.

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Speed
While ACC is set, you can increase the set speed by pushing the SET + button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in the Owner's Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the
speed of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET + button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in
5 mph increments until the button is released. The increase in set speed is
reflected in the EVIC/DID.
