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.
You can override the set speed and gap distance by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
When you are overriding the system, the green indicator light
illuminates and the follow vehicle does not show in the
information display. The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed will decrease to the
set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
• Accelerate or brake to the desired speed and press SET upward and
release.
• Increase or decrease the speed by holding SET upward or downward
until the desired set speed is shown on the information display.
The vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (2 km/h) by
briefly pressing SET upward or downward.
The system may apply the brakes to slow your vehicle down to the new
set speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Resume should only be used if you are aware of the set speed and
intend to return to it.
Press and release RES. Your vehicle will return to the previously set
speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information display
while the system is active.
