Increasing Set Speed While Using ACC
If the ACC is already activated,
. Press the +RES button. Hold it there until the
desired set speed is displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), then release the switch.
. To increase the set speed in small amounts, move
the switch briefly to +RES. Each time this is done,
the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph).
Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the
system determines there is not a vehicle in front of you.
At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the set
speed.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using ACC
If the ACC is already activated,
. Press the SET– button until the lower speed
desired is reached, then release it.
. To slow down in small amounts, briefly press the
SET– button. Each time this is done, the set speed
decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the ACC is set at a desired speed and then the
brakes are applied, the ACC is disengaged without
erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or greater,
press the +RES button. The vehicle returns to the
previously set speed and stays there.
Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it
adjusts your vehicle speed and maintains the follow
distance (gap) you select.
Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering wheel
to adjust the follow distance.
Press the plus button to increase the distance or the
minus button to decrease the distance. The first button
press shows the current follow distance setting on the
DIC. The current follow distance setting will be
maintained until it is changed.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(one second to two seconds follow time). The distance
maintained for a selected follow distance will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed
the further back your vehicle will follow. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when selecting the follow
distance. The range of selectable distances may not be
appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you
prefer to travel at a follow distance farther than ACC
allows, disengage the system and drive manually.
