Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controlsoperate 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 andrelease. Each time the 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 thesystem can be operated 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.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on whennot 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
a collision. Always leave the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control
system off when you are not using it.
• 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. A collision could be the
result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the
vehicle ahead; and, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is al ways required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision 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.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep
uphill or downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.

Compass Calibration
• This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear
erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
• You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until
the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now
function normally.

• The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you aredriving in a fuel efficient manner.
• This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be used to modify driving habits in order to increase
