UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 161 Setting the Following Distance in ACC The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between long, medium, and short. Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC. To can change the distance setting, push the lever away from you to DISTANCE and release. Each time this is done, the distance setting toggles between long, medium, and short. If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same lane, the EVIC displays the "Sensed Vehicle Indicator" icon, and the system adjusts vehicle speed automatically to maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed. The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until: • The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the set speed. • The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the sensor. 3 1 - Sensor Bars. Default Distance Setting is Three Bars = Long. • The vehicle ahead slows to a speed below 15 mph (24 km/h) and the system automatically disables itself.
