Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to reduce the
burden on you when driving on an expressway (including during congestion and when
driving at high speed). Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering work
together to assist you by automatically controlling the accelerator, brake, and steering.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
This system provides cruise control with the
ability to keep a safe distance from the car in
front of you. Using the EyeSight
®camera, the
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control function
identifies vehicles in front of you in the same
lane, and your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front (up to the maximum of your set speed).
While following, your vehicle will automatically
maintain a following distance that
corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of being
controlled at a speed between 0 mph and
approximately 90 mph.
You can turn the Advanced Adaptive Cruise
Control on or off using the Adaptive Cruise Control On/Off button on the right side of the
steering wheel (see page 91). Once the system is turned on, a white Adaptive Cruise
Control icon will be displayed on the Combination Meter Display (CMD). When all the
operational conditions are met, “READY” appears underneath the Adaptive Cruise Control
icon.
To set Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, push down the “SET/–” switch on the right side
of the steering wheel. The CMD will indicate a target speed and the icon will turn green.
This speed can be adjusted up or down using the “RES/SET” switch (see page 91).
When a vehicle in front of you is identified, a Lead Vehicle icon will be displayed on the
Combination Meter Display (CMD) and/or Multi-Function Display (MFD). You can change
the desired following distance from the lead vehicle by pressing the “Increase Distance” or
“Decrease Distance” buttons (see page 91).

REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted sonar
sensors to detect objects when moving between
1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses the Rear-Vision
Camera image to display colored proximity alerts
when an object is detected. As an object becomes
closer to the rear of your vehicle, audible beeps
provide additional awareness in three progressive
levels. If RAB determines that a collision with an
object is possible, the system can automatically apply
the brakes to help prevent or minimize the impact.
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the Touchscreen buttons on the lower corners
when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the Touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the Touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
