Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead to a crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with LSF system is
operating can result in the vehicle moving without operator control. Always
make sure the shift lever is in Park (P) before exiting the vehicle.
A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with LSF.
ACC with LSF has limited braking capability and may not stop your vehicle in
time to avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal if conditions require.
During operation
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if
another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beep sounds and BRAKE
appears on the multi-information display to alert you.
When a vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with low speed
follow range and stops, your vehicle also stops. The Stopped
message appears on the multi-information display.
When the vehicle ahead of you starts again, the vehicle icon on the
multi-information display blinks. Press RES/+/SET/– up or down, or
depress the accelerator pedal to resume the prior set speed.
Canceling ACCYou can press CANCEL, press MAIN, or depress the brake pedal. The
ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel automatically. When
this happens, a beep sounds and a message appears on the multi-
information display.
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the
prior set speed by pressing RES/ACCEL while driving at a speed of at
least 25 mph (40 km/h).

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror detects a vehicle
in front of you when your vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or higher—and it determines
there is a likelihood of a frontal collision—the system provides you with visual and audible
warnings.
If you do not brake in time or take preventive
action, BRAKE flashes in the MID and a beep sounds
continuously.
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing, or turn the system off. Use the interface dial to make and
enter selections.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Vehicle Settings.
3. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.
4. Select Long, Normal, Short, or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
Important Safety reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy of the
system will vary based on weather, speed, extreme interior heat, and other factors. FCW
does not include a braking function. It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
