ACC will allow you to keep cruise control engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need to reset your cruise control.

NOTE: • If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed. • If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed the original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.
