UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 201 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.
