Selecting the Follow
Distance Gap
When a slower moving vehicle is
detected ahead within the selected
following gap, ACC will adjust the
vehicle's speed and attempt to
maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press
[
on the steering wheel to
adjust the following gap. Each press
cycles the gap button through three
settings: Far, Medium, or Near.
When pressed, the current gap
setting displays briefly on the
instrument cluster and HUD,
if equipped. The gap setting will be
maintained until it is changed.
Since each gap setting corresponds
to a following time (Far, Medium,
or Near), the following distance will
vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the further
back your vehicle will follow a
vehicle detected ahead. Consider
traffic and weather conditions when
selecting the following gap. The
range of selectable gaps may not be
appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
Changing the gap setting
automatically changes the alert
timing sensitivity (Far, Medium,
or Near) for the Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) feature. See
The gap setting used by ACC is
independent to the alert timing
sensitivity (Far, Medium, or Near)
used by the Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) feature. Pressing
[
while
ACC is active will only modify the
gap setting used by ACC without
changing the alert timing sensitivity
used by FCA. Pressing
[
while
ACC is not active will only modify
the alert timing sensitivity used by
FCA without modifying the gap
setting used by ACC. See
