Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake lights will
illuminate.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a
safe interval betw een your vehicle and other vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
3WARNING
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.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise c ontrol: Desired speed in a range above
roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~ The radar sensor is in
the lower bumper
next to the fog light.
Be careful not to have
the radar sensor cover
strongly impacted.
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.

■How to activate the system1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
When the MAIN button is pressed, both ACC and
the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are either
turned on or off.
ACC may not work properly under certain conditions.
2 ACC Conditions and Limitations P. 500
When not using ACC: Turn off adaptive cruise by
pressing the MAIN button. This also will turn off the
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
Do not use ACC under the following conditions:
•On roads with heavy traf fic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
•On roads with sharp turns.
•On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceeded by coasting. In such
cases, ACC will not apply the brakes to maintain
the set speed.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
When the engine speed slows down, try to
downshift. You can maintain the set speed if you
change gear within five seconds.
How to use
■Press the MAIN button on
the steering wheel.
ACC (green) is on in the instrument panel.
ACC is ready to use.

■There is a vehicle ahead
ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected
doing so, the ACC system maintains or decele rates your vehicle’s set speed in order
to keep the vehicle’s se t following-interval from the vehicle ahead.
2To Set or Change Following-interval P. 503
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than
your set speed is detected in front of you, your
vehicle starts to slow down.
■When in Operation1 When in Operation
If the vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if a nother vehicle is de tected cutting in
front of you, the beep er sounds and a message
appears on the driver information interface.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Even if the interval betw een your vehicle and the
vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start
accelerating your vehi cle under the following
circumstances:
•The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
•A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradua lly increasing the interval
between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in
front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC
detecting range. Change the ACC Forward Vehicle
Detect Beep setting.

■There is no vehicle ahead
Your vehicle maintains the set speed without
having to keep your foot on the brake or
accelerator pedal.
If there previously was a vehicle detected
ahead that kept your ve hicle from traveling at
the set speed, ACC accelerates your vehicle to
the set speed, and then maintains it.
■When you depress the accelerator pedal
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed . In this case, there is no audible or
visual alert even if a vehicle is in the ACC range.
ACC stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal, the
system resumes the set speed.
There are times when the vehicle speed will decrease when the accelerator pedal is
lightly applied.
