STARTING AND OPERATING 145 U.S. Speed (mph) The ACC system applies the brake down to a full stop when following the vehicle in front. If your vehicle follows the vehicle in front to a standstill, your vehicle will release the brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop. Pushing the RES (+) button, or SET (-) button once will result in a 1mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1mph. If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust in 5mph incre ments until the button is released. The new set speed is reflected in the instrument cluster display. The ACC system maintains set speed when driving uphill and downhill.
However, a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and necessary to maintain set speed. When driving uphill and downhill, the ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (overheated). Setting The Following Distance In ACC Metric Speed (km/h) Distance Settings 4 Pushing the RES (+) button, or SET (-) button once will result in a 1km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1km/h.
1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars) 2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars) 3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars) 4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar) If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust in 10km/h incre ments until the button is released. The new set speed is reflected in the instrument cluster display. The specified following distance for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can be set by varying the distance setting between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead.
This distance setting displays in the instrument cluster display. To adjust the distance setting, push the Distance Button and release. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). When the farthest distance is set, pushing the distance button again will reset to the shortest distance. When you use the SET (-) button to decelerate, if the engine’s braking power does not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automatically slow the vehicle. When ACC Is Active If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the set speed.
If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same lane, the instrument cluster displays the ACC Set With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the system adjusts vehicle speed automatically to maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
