Driving and Operating

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

When this condition occurs, the red collision
alert symbol will flash on the windshield or
on the HUD, if equipped. Eight beeps will
