ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive
cruise control the controls operate exactly
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 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 in the 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 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 pressing 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)
• Pressing 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 pressed, 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 DID.
