Overview

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows

you to maintain a set speed and keep

the vehicle ahead of you and your

vehicle at a safe distance without

having to use the accelerator pedal or

the brake pedal.

When the vehicle ahead of you slows

down or speeds up, ACC senses the

change in distance and compensates

by adjusting your vehicle speed

accordingly. The distance between

vehicles is based on your speed: the

faster you go, the longer the distance

will be; the slower you go, the

shorter it will be.

If the vehicle ahead of you slows

down suddenly or another vehicle

cuts in front of your vehicle, ACC

alerts you by sounding a beeper and

displaying a message on the multi-

information display.

The ACC radar sensor in the front

grille can detect and monitor the

distance of a vehicle up to 328 feet

(100 meters) ahead of your vehicle.

For more information on the radar

sensor, see page 458.

Important Safety Precautions

As with any system, there are limits

to ACC. Inappropriate use of ACC

can result in a serious accident. Use

the brake pedal whenever necessary,

and always keep a safe distance

between your vehicle and other

vehicles.

Do not use ACC under these

conditions:

●

In poor visibility.

●

In heavy traffic.

●

When you must slow down and

speed up repeatedly.

●

On winding roads.

●

When you enter a toll gate,

interchange, service area, parking

area, etc. In these areas, there is

no vehicle ahead of you, but ACC

would still try to accelerate to your

set speed.

●

In bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

●

On a slippery road (for example a

road covered with ice or snow).
