O P E R AT I N G YO U R V E H I C L E Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) • If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front of you. • If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the speed of the vehicle ahead. • If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set. Distance Setting (ACC Only) • To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle is restarted and the ACC system is turned on. • The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (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. Mode (ACC Only) • If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed you set. • To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY, or SET position. "Cruise Ready" will be displayed if the system was in ACC READY or ACC SET position. "Cruise Off" will be displayed if the system was in the ACC OFF position. To switch back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press the MODE button a second time. • Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information. Forward Collision Warning • The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react and avoid the potential collision. 28
