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 com-

ing 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 down-

hill. This is normal operation and necessary to main-

tain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the

ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature

exceeds normal range (overheated).

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

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 DID.
