Each time the vehicle is restarted, the last chosen gap will be
automatically selected.

driving conditions.

Disengaging adaptive cruise control

Press the brake pedal to disengage the adaptive cruise control. CRUISE
CANCELLED will be displayed in the message center.

Disengaging the adaptive cruise control will not erase your previous set
speed.

Overriding adaptive cruise control

WARNING: Whenever the driver is overriding the ACC by
pressing the accelerator pedal, the ACC will not automatically

apply the brakes to maintain separation from any vehicle ahead.

The set speed and gap distance can be overridden by pressing the
accelerator pedal.

When the driver is overriding ACC, the green

cruise indicator light

is illuminated, and CRUISE OVERRIDE is displayed in the message
center. When the accelerator is released, the ACC function will operate
again and vehicle speed will decrease to the set speed, or a lower speed
if following a slower vehicle.
