on the steering wheel to

adjust the following gap. When
pressed, the current gap setting
displays briefly on the instrument
cluster and HUD, if equipped.
Subsequent presses cycle the gap
button through three settings: Far,
Medium, or Near. 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

If ACC is engaged, driver action
may be required when ACC cannot
apply sufficient braking because of
approaching a vehicle too rapidly.

When this condition occurs, six red
lights or the collision alert symbol on
the HUD, if equipped, will flash on
the windshield, and either eight
beeps will sound from the front,

or both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat will pulse five times. See

Approaching and Following a
Vehicle

The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster and HUD,
if equipped.

The vehicle ahead indicator only
displays when a vehicle is detected
in your vehicle

s path moving in the

same direction.

If this symbol is not displaying, ACC
will not respond to or brake for
vehicles ahead.

ACC automatically slows the vehicle
down and adjusts vehicle speed to
follow the vehicle in front at the
selected follow gap. The vehicle
