OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET + button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 10 km/h
increments until the button is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the
EVIC/DID.
To Decrease Speed
While ACC is set, the set speed can be decreased 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 decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in
5 mph decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is
reflected in the EVIC/DID.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET - button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in 10 km/h
decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the
EVIC/DID.
NOTE:
• When you override and push the SET + button or SET - buttons, the new Set Speed
will be the current speed of the vehicle.
• When you use the SET - button to decelerate, if the engine's braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will
automatically slow the vehicle.
• The ACC system applies the brake down to a full stop when following a target
vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, the host
vehicle will release the vehicle brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and down hill. However,
a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may
occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and
necessary to maintain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the ACC
system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (overheated).
