Disengaging Adaptive Cruise Control Press the brake pedal or press CNCL to disengage the system. Disengaging the system will not erase your previous set speed. Overriding Adaptive Cruise Control WARNING: Whenever the driver is overriding the ACC by pressing the accelerator pedal, the ACC will not automatically apply the brakes to maintain separation from any vehicle ahead. You can override the set speed and gap distance by pressing the accelerator pedal. When you are overriding the system, the green indicator light illuminates and the follow vehicle does not show in the information display. The system will resume operation when you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed will decrease to the set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle. Changing the Set Speed There are three ways to change the set speed: • Accelerate or brake to the desired speed and press SET upward and release. • Increase or decrease the speed by holding SET upward or downward until the desired set speed is shown on the information display. The vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed. 2015 Flex (471) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, October 2014 USA (fus)
