CONTROLS AT A GLANCE

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.

if your vehicle overheats.
- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction orthe parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., mayilluminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Brake
Assist System (BAS) Warning Light
• If the ESP/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected.

recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Charging System Light

• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is

assembly must be replaced.
** The headlamps are a type of high-voltage discharge tube. High voltage can remain
in the circuit even with the headlamp switch off and the key removed. Because of
this, you should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb
fails, take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
