uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Continued
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed
Follow (LSF)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-distance behind a
vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle slows to a stop,
decelerates and stops your vehicle, withou t you having to keep your foot on the
brake or the accelerator.
When ACC with LSF slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake
lights will illuminate.
1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC with LSF.
Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always
keep a safe distance between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC wi th LSF can lead to a
crash.
Use ACC with LSF only when driving on
expressways or freeways and in good
weather conditions.
3WARNING
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 the conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for ACC with LSF: A vehicle is detected ahead within ACC with
LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
No vehicle is detected within ACC with LSF range – ACC with LSF operates at
the speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or above.
■Gear position for ACC with LSF: In ( D or (S. The radar sensor is in
the front grille.
The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.

The system may automatically shut off and the ACC indicator will come on under
certain conditions. Some examples of thes e conditions are listed below. Other
conditions may reduce some of the ACC functions.

■Environmental conditions
Driving in bad weather (r ain, fog, snow, etc.).
■Roadway conditions
Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscure d lane marking, vehicle tracks, reflected
lights, road spra y, high contrast).
■Vehicle conditions
• The outside of the windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (Wro ng sized, varied size or construction,
improperly inflated, compact spare tire
*, etc.).
• The camera temperature gets too hot.
• The parking brake is applied.
• When the front grille is dirty.
• When the front of the vehicle tilts up due to heavy cargo in the cargo area or rear
seats.
• When tire chains are installed.
■ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations1ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations

• A vehicle or pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you.
• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead of you is
too short.
• A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and it brakes suddenly.

■Automatic ca ncellation
The beeper sounds and a message appear s on the MID when ACC with LSF is
automatically canceled. Any of these co nditions may cause the ACC with LSF to
automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor in the front grille gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is de tected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with LSF range is too close to your
vehicle.
• When a detected vehicle goes out of the ACC with LSF range while your vehicle
is stationary.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation ca n be also triggered by the following
causes.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.
• The engine is turned off.
• When trailer stability assist
* is activated.
2 Trailer Stability Assist* P. 335
1Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC with LSF has been automatically
canceled, you can still resu me the prior set speed.
Wait until the condition that caused ACC with LSF to
cancel improves, then press the RES/+/SET/– switch
up.

uuWhen Driving uForward Collision Warning (FCW ) with Pedestrian Detection*
Continued
Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian
Detection*
Alerts you when it determines the possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle
or pedestrian detected in front of you.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives visual and audible alerts.
u Take appropriate action to prevent a coll ision (apply the brakes, change lanes,
etc.).
■How the system works
For a possible collision with a vehicle: Warnings may be given when your vehicle
speed is about 10 mph (15 km/h) and above.
For a possible collision with a pedestrian: Warnings may be given when your vehicle
speed is between about 10 and 62 mph (15 and 100 km/h).
1 Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian Detection*
Important Safety Reminder
FCW with Pedestrian Detection cannot detect all
objects ahead and may not detect a given object;
accuracy of the system will vary based on weather,
speed and other factors. FCW with Pedestrian
Detection does not include a braking function. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning
Distance setting or turn the system on and off. 2 Customized Features P. 117, 263
