218 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: If ACC is resumed or set with the ESC/TCS off, • You turn OFF the ignition. ESC will automatically be re-engaged. To Resume Speed Press the RES + button and release. Then remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will display the last set speed. NOTE: You can resume ACC from a minimum of 20 mph (32 km/h). 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 a collision and/or serious injury. Adaptive Cruise Control Cancelled To Turn Off The system will turn off and erase the set speed in memory if: • You push and release the ON/OFF button.
