SPEED CONTROL LEVER
Cruise ON/OFF
• Push the ON/OFF button to activate theSpeed Control.
• CRUISE will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the Speed Control is on.
• Push the ON/OFF button a second time to turn the system off.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the Electronic Speed Control
system off when you are not using it.
Set
• With Speed Control on, push down and release the lever to set a desired speed.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control. An accident could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Accel/Decel
• Push and hold the lever up to accelerate or down to decelerate the vehicle; release
the lever to save the new set speed.
• Once a speed is set, tapping the lever up or down will increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).

Resume
• To resume a previously selected speed in memory, push the lever up and release.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) LEVER
A New Level Of Convenience
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increasesthe convenience of cruise control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a
standard cruise control system,
maintaining the speed you set.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically so your vehicle
maintains a preset following distance to
the preceding vehicle.
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute foractive driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury. The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example, sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

lose control and have an accident. Always leave the Electronic Speed Control
system off when you are not using it.
Set
• With ACC speed control on, push down and release the lever to set a desired speed.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control. An accident could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Accel/Decel

Resume
• To resume a previously selected speed in memory, push the lever up and release.The EVIC will display the last set speed.
Setting The Following Distance
• With ACC speed control on, push the lever away from you and release to set thedesired distance. Each time the lever is pushed, the distance setting adjusts
between long, medium and short.
Changing To Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control
• In addition to adaptive mode, ACC has a normal (fixed speed) cruise control modefor cruising at fixed speeds.
• Press and hold the “ON/OFF/MODE” button for at least one second to activate the normal speed control. “Normal Cruise Ready” will be displayed in the EVIC.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

The ACC Warning
• The ACC Blinded message will display in the EVIC when conditions temporarily limitthe system performance and the system will be deactivated. The most likely cause
for a deactivated system is a dirty or obstructed sensor, occurring mostly during
snow, fog, heavy rain, or by obstruction from dirt or ice. In these cases, the EVIC
will display “ACC BLINDED.” Examine the sensor (behind the grille, slightly offset
from the center of the grille) which may need simple cleaning, or removal of the
obstruction.
System Maintenance
• Always keep the sensor clean for optimum system performance.
• See your authorized dealer for services if the sensor is damaged.
• Do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparentmaterial or aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or
malfunction.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for complete details.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
Air Recirculation
• Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the recirculation off.
• Recirculation is not allowe d in defrost, floor, defrost/f loor (mix) modes.
