Metric Speed (km/h)
•PushingtheSET+button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.

The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for more information. The speed decrement shown is dependant on the speed of
U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:

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.

Metric Speed (km/h)
•PushingtheSET+button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
•If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 10 km/h
increments until the button is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the DID.
To Decrease Speed
While ACC is set, the set speed can be decreased by pushing the SET-button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the speed of
U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
•PushingtheSET-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 pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph
decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the DID.
Metric Speed (km/h)
•PushingtheSET-button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
•If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in 10 km/h
decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the DID.
NOTE:
•WhenyouoverrideandpushtheSET+button or SET-buttons, the new Set Speed will
be the current speed of the vehicle.
•WhenyouusetheSET-button to decelerate, if the engine’s braking power does not
slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automatically
slow the vehicle.
•TheACCsystemappliesthebrakedowntoafullstopwhenfollowingatargetvehicle.
If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, the host vehicle will release
the vehicle brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop.
•TheACCsystemmaintainssetspeedwhendrivinguphillanddownhill.However,a
slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may occur
while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and necessary
to maintain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the ACC system will cancel
if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (overheated).

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,
astoppedvehicleinatrafficjamoradisabledvehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin
wrong or missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandhold
the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system
will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible
chime will sound when the brakes are released.

Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.
