Driving
The system may automatically shut off and the ACC with LSF indicator will come on
under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below. Other
conditions may reduce some of the ACC with LSF functions.
■ Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
■ Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
■ Vehicle conditions
• The outside of the windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (Wrong sized, varied size or construction,
improperly inflated, co mpact spare tire, etc.).
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The parking brake is applied.
• When the radar sensor cover is dirty.
• The vehicle is tilted du e to a heavy load or suspension modifications.
• When tire chains *
are installed.■ ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations 1 ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 568
Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
Never use chemical solvents or polishing powder for
cleaning the radar sensor cover. Clean it with water
or a mild detergent.

If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
• The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
• You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.

Driving ■ Automatic cancellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with LSF is automatically canceled. An y of these conditions may cause the ACC
with LSF to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor at the lower part of the front bumper gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is dete cted, 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 wi thin the ACC with LSF range is too close to your vehicle.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
• When the Maximum Load Limit is exceeded.
• When passing through an enclos ed space, such as tunnel.
In the following cases, a buzzer sounds, ACC with LSF is deactivated, and the Cruise
Cancelled: Slope Too Steep. Watch Downhill Speed message appears in the
driver information interface.
• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to main tain the set speed (for
example, you are descending a long slope).
The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation can be also triggered by the following
causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfasten ed when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for mo re than 10 minutes.
• The engine is turned off. 1 Automatic 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 SET / – button.

Driving ■ How to activate the system 1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) *
When the MAIN button is pressed, ACC and Lane
Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are both turned on or
off.
ACC may not work properly under certai n conditions.
2 ACC Conditions and Limitations P. 540
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.
When the engine speed goes up, try to upshift.
You can maintain the set sp eed if you change gear
within five seconds.How to use
