With the ACC turned on, push down the“SET -” switch while
driving, and when your
vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain theset speed.The set indicator comes on, the set speed isindicated and the follow
ing distance indicator
changes to the ‘active’ will sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx-imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h).While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), youcan activate the ACC. In this case, the setspeed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).

NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multiinformation display to alert the driver, andthe ACC control will be canceled.When depressing the brake pedal while theautomatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress thebrake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.During the automatic braking, operationsounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N GNever leave the vehicle while it is beingstopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N GYour vehicle may accelerate up to the setspeed in the following situations. Applythe 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
