directly ahead in your path moving in the
same direction. If no vehicle is detected in
your path, ACC works like regular cruise
control. ACC uses camera and radar sensors.

apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake.
If ACC is controlling your vehicle speed
