your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC will automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn- ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained. Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

While the ACC is turned on, indicators for the ACC are shown in the multi information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand th
e limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or an automatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited brak
ing and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

1- “ACC ON/OFF” switch
Used to turn on and off the ACC sys-tem.
2- “SET -” switch
Used to set a desired speed or to reducethe set speed.
3- “RES +” switch
Used to resume the control function after cancelling the ACC or the conven-tional cruise control. Also used to increase the set speed.
4- “CANCEL” switch
Used to cancel the control function of the ACC or the cruise control.
5- ACC distance switch
Used to set or change the following dis- tance between your
vehicle and a vehi-
cle in front.NOTE
Operate the individual
switches correctly and
one after another. The ACC may be turned off or its control function may be canc
elled if two or more
switches are pressed concurrently

The speed of your vehicle will be maintained at the speed you have set. The speed can beset between approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581400039
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will
apply the brakes auto-
matically when the system judges braking isnecessary. The distance can be selected from three levels.
When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop your vehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and your vehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi-cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
• When an abnormality
in the ACC system
has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance
NOTE
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automaticallyapply the brake to main
tain the vehicle set

When ACC detects a vehicle in front within the set distance
NOTE
NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled. When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force. During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.

While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.
When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if
a stationary vehicle
appears in front you

The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the approach alarm in the fol-lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestrian, is in front. • When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases, but will give theapproach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
The ACC may not be able to maintain the set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if the system cannot detect the front vehicleproperly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded

When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the following distance indi- cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’display when a front vehicle is detected.
In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzersounds and a message is shown in the multi- information display. When your vehicle stops. When the ASC is turned off. While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” When the parking brake is applied.
When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer willsound and a message will
be displayed in the
multi information display. This can occur when Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface
of the radar sensor.
In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt. Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obsta
