ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise
control the controls operate exactly the same
as the normal (fixed speed) speed 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 accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset fol-
lowing distance, while matching 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 on the instrument cluster 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 on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is off.
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).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the brakes will ramp-out. Driver
intervention will be required at this moment.
