Driving and Operating

When it is determined that there is
no vehicle ahead or the vehicle
ahead is beyond the selected
following gap, then the vehicle
speed will increase to the set speed.

Reducing Speed While ACC is at a
Set Speed

Do one of the following:

.

Use the brake to get to the
desired lower speed. Release
the brake and press SET

. The

vehicle will now cruise at the
lower speed.

.

Press and hold SET

down until

the desired lower speed is
reached, then release it.

.

To decrease the vehicle speed in
smaller increments, press SET

down briefly. For each press, the
vehicle speed decreases to the
next 5 km/h (1 mph) mark on the
speedometer.

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. 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

Forward

Collision Alert (FCA) System

Alerting the Driver

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, the
collision alert symbol on the HUD
will flash on the windshield. Either
eight beeps will sound from the
front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. See
