OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) • If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the same as the normal (fixed speed) 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 ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed. ACC ON/OFF • Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button. • ACC READY will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is on. • Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time to turn the system off. • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is off. Distance Setting (ACC Only) • The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (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 increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting-Increase button and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). • To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting-Decrease button and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter). 34
