Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and maintainthe set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a specified
distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
• 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.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each timethe button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and
short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle
is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (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 EVIC.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can beoperated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed
speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY or SET state. Pressing of the MODE button in any
state will result in changing to the new Mode in the OFF state.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver of a potential collision with the vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. A warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
25
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or theparking 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.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
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 a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- 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.
