Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch to turn off the ACC.
With the ACC turned on, push down the “SET -” switch while
driving, and when your
vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activate and initiate the speed control to maintain the set speed. The set indicator comes on, the set speed is indicated and the follow
ing distance indicator
changes to the ‘active’
display. Also a buzzer
will sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx- imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), youcan activate the ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h). The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
NOTE
 Every time the operation mode is turned to the “OFF” position, the ACC is turned off.

The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto-matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance
can be selected from
three levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped, the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi- cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
• While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. • When the selector leve
r is in positions other
than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” (DOWN- SHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING). • While the brake pedal is depressed. • While the parking brake is engaged.• When the ACC system has judged that the performance for detect
ing a front vehicle is
degraded. • When an abnormality
in the ACC system
has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automatically apply the brake to main
tain the vehicle set
speed.NOTE
When ACC detects a vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force.  During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.

ted, if your vehicle is
approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G When your vehicle no longer follows the front vehicle, e.g.
at a freeway exit or
when your vehicle or the front vehiclechanges its lane, your
vehicle may acceler-
ate up to the set speed. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
Approach alarm

WA R N I N G When the ACC is not being used, turn off the system to avoid
unexpected
ACC acti-
vation. The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the appr
oach alarm in the fol-
lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When a malfunction is detected in the system.
 The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases,
but will give the
approach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
 The ACC may not be ab
le to maintain the
set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if thesystem cannot detect the front vehicle properly. Typical situations include:
• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completely in your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded
