During Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is turned on, the system \
maintains,
accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle to keep the vehicle’s set following
interval from the vehicle ahead.
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed
when you press the accelerator pedal. ACC stays
on unless you cancel it. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the system resumes the set
speed or a sufficient speed to maintain the following
interval.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and B
rAKe appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle’

s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.
WARNING

Press the CANC
eL or MAIN button, or press the
brake pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.

automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display

After adaptive cruise control has been canceled,
you can still resume the prior set speed by pressing
reS/+ when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40
km/h).
