To Decrease Speed
•
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can decrease speed by pushing the SET-button.
The speed decrement shown is dependant on the chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric
(km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pressing the SET -button once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Each subsequent
tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pressed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pressing the SET -button once will result in a 2 km/h decrease in set speed. Each subsequent
tap of the button results in a decrease of 2 km/h.
• If the button is continually pressed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RES + button and release.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and maintain the setspeed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
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 system OFF when you are not using it.
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 automati-
cally 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.

This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off ” prevents the system from warning you of a potential frontal
collision.
NOTE:
• If FCW is set to “Off ”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
•Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive 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 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 always 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 stoppedvehicle 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.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and may 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.
•
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The driver
has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering.
Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
