There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working, you can accelerate the vehicle beyond thepresently set speed. When the vehicle spee
d reaches your desired
speed, push down and release the “SET -”
switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have no significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed

By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
 There is some time
lag until the vehicle
begins accelerating to
the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.  The set speed can be changed even while your vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however, although the set speed itself is increased,your vehicle will
not accelerate.
 When the switch is he
ld, a buzzer will sound
every time the set speed changes
By using the accelerator pedal:

WA R N I N G The ACC braking control and approach alarm functions will
not work while the
accelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
 The set speed indicator in the multi informa- tion display will show
“---” while the accel-
erator pedal is depressed.  If the “SET -” button is not pushed down while depressing the ac
celerator pedal, your
vehicle speed will return to the set speed, after the accelerator pedal is released. Whenthe accelerator pedal is released, the ACC braking control and approach alarm func- tions may not immediately work.
