• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will

apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed

the original set speed) automatically to maintain a

preset following distance, while matching the speed of

the vehicle ahead.

The Cruise Control system has two control modes:

• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an

appropriate distance between vehicles.

• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode

for cruising at a constant preset speed. For additional

information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise

Control Mode” in this section.

NOTE:

Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control

will not react to preceding vehicles. Always be aware of

the mode selected.

You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control

buttons. The two control modes function differently.

Always confirm which mode is selected.

WARNING!

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience

system. It is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibil-
ity to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always re-
quired while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
