UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 161 WARNING! The Resume function should only be used if traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed that is too high or too low for prevailing traffic and road conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate too sharply for safe operation. This could cause an accident and/or serious injury. To Vary the Speed Setting While ACC is set, you can increase the set speed by lifting and holding the lever up (RESUME/ACCEL). If the lever is continually held, the set speed will continue to increase in 5 mph (10 km/h) increments until the lever is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the EVIC display. Tapping the lever up once will result in a 1 mph (1 km/h) increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in an increase of 1 mph (1 km/h). While ACC is set, the set speed can be decreased by pushing and holding the lever down (SET/DECEL). If the lever is continually held, the set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph (10 km/h) increments until the lever is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the EVIC display. Tapping the lever down once will result in a 1 mph (1 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 1 mph (1 km/h). NOTE: • When you use the lever to decelerate, if the engine's braking power does not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automatically slow the vehicle. 3
