220 Driving and Operating
Select the set speed desired for ACC. This is
the vehicle speed when no vehicle is
detected in its path.
While the vehicle is moving, ACC will not set
at a speed less than 5 km/h (3 mph),
although it can be resumed.
The minimum allowable set speed is
25 km/h (15 mph).
To set ACC while moving:1. Press
5.
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press SET– down and release.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator.
After ACC is set, it may immediately apply
the brakes if a vehicle ahead is detected
closer than the selected following gap.
ACC can also be set while the vehicle is
stopped and the brake pedal is applied. The ACC indicator displays on the
instrument cluster. When ACC is turned on,
the indicator will be lit white. When ACC is
engaged, the indicator will turn green.
Be mindful of speed limits, surrounding
traffic speeds, and weather conditions when
selecting the set speed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the ACC is set at a desired speed and then
the brakes are applied, ACC is disengaged
without erasing the set speed from memory.
To begin using ACC again, press RES+ up
briefly.
.If the vehicle is moving more than 5 km/h
(3 mph), it returns to the previous set
speed.
.If the vehicle is stopped with the brake
pedal applied, press RES+ up and release
the brake pedal. ACC will hold the vehicle
until RES+ or the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
A green ACC indicator and the set speed
display on the instrument cluster. The
vehicle ahead indicator may be flashing if a
vehicle ahead was present and moved. See
“Approaching and Following a Vehicle” later
in this section. Once ACC has resumed, the vehicle speed
will increase to the set speed under the
following conditions:
.There is no vehicle ahead.
.The vehicle ahead is beyond the selected
following gap.
.The vehicle speed is not being limited
because of a sharp turn.
Increasing Speed While ACC Is at a Set
Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one of the
following:
.Use the accelerator to get to the higher
speed. Briefly press down and release
SET–
and release the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will now cruise at the higher
speed. When the accelerator pedal is
pressed, ACC will not brake because it is
overridden. While overridden, the ACC
indicator will turn blue on the instrument
cluster and Head-Up Display (HUD),
if equipped.
.Press and hold RES+ up until the desired
set speed is displayed, then release it.
.To increase vehicle speed in smaller
increments, press RES+ up briefly. For
each press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) faster.

Driving and Operating 221
.To increase vehicle speed in larger
increments, hold RES+ up. While holding
RES+, the vehicle speed increases to the
next 5 km/h (5 mph) step, then continues
to increase by 5 km/h (5 mph) at a time.
The set speed can also be increased while
the vehicle is stopped.
.If stopped with the brake pedal applied,
press RES+ up until the desired set speed
is displayed.
.If ACC is holding the vehicle at a stop and
there is another vehicle directly ahead,
pressing RES+ up will increase the set
speed.
.Pressing RES+ up when there is no longer
a vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is
pulling away and the brake is not applied
will cause the ACC to resume
When it is determined that there is no
vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is beyond
the selected following gap, then the vehicle
speed will increase to the set speed.
Reducing Speed While ACC Is at a Set
Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one of the
following:
.Use the brake to get to the desired lower
speed. Release the brake and press SET–
down. The vehicle will now cruise at the
lower speed.
.Press and hold SET– down until the
desired lower speed is reached, then
release it.
.To decrease the vehicle speed in smaller
increments, press SET– down briefly. For
each press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) slower.
.To decrease the vehicle speed in larger
increments, hold SET– down. While
holding SET–, the vehicle speed decreases
to the next 5 km/h (5 mph) step, then
continues to decrease by 5 km/h (5 mph)
at a time.
The set speed can also be decreased while
the vehicle is stopped.
.If stopped with the brake applied, press
or hold SET– down until the desired set
speed is displayed.
Selecting the Follow Distance Gap
When a slower moving vehicle is detected
ahead within the selected following gap,
ACC will adjust the vehicle's speed and
attempt to maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press
[on the steering wheel to adjust
the following gap. Each press cycles the gap
button through three settings: Far, Medium,
or Near.
When pressed, the current gap setting
displays briefly on the instrument cluster
and HUD, if equipped. The gap setting will
be maintained until it is changed.
Since each gap setting corresponds to a
following time (Far, Medium, or Near), the
following distance will vary based on vehicle
speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the
further back your vehicle will follow a
vehicle detected ahead. Consider traffic and
weather conditions when selecting the
following gap. The range of selectable gaps
may not be appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
