Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP) When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it will adjust your vehicle's speed and maintain the following distance (gap) selected. Use the GAP button on the steering wheel to adjust the follow distance between your vehicle and other vehicle's. There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (one second to two seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a selected follow distance varies based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed the further back you will follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the follow distance. The range of selectable distances may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to travel at a following distance farther than Adaptive Cruise Control allows, disengage the system and drive manually. A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected following distance. This picture shows a maximum follow distance. Press the top of the button to increase the distance or the bottom of the button to decrease the distance. The first button press shows the current follow distance setting on the HUD. The current following distance setting is maintained until it is changed.
