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.
