Turning off speed control

To turn off the speed control, press OFF downward or turn off the
ignition.

Note: When you turn off the speed control or the ignition, your speed
control set speed memory is erased.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) (IF EQUIPPED)

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is much like speed control, only this
system is designed to automatically adjust your speed to maintain a
proper distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in the same
lane. The driver can select from one of four GAP settings, the controls
are located on the steering wheel.

At startup, the system sets the gap
to the last selected setting. Once
activated, the driver can deactivate
the system at any time by pressing
the brake pedal, pressing the
steering wheel ON/OFF control or pressing the RES/CNCL control. In
addition, the driver can temporarily increase the vehicle speed above the
current speed by manually pressing on the accelerator pedal.

WARNING: Always pay close attention to changing road
conditions, especially when using adaptive cruise control.

Adaptive cruise control cannot replace attentive driving. Failing to
follow any of the warnings below or failing to pay attention to the road
may result in a collision, serious injury or death.

WARNING: Adaptive cruise control is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, adaptive cruise control will not

detect:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.

WARNING: Do not use the adaptive cruise control when
entering or leaving a highway, in heavy traffic or on roads that

are winding, slippery or unpaved.
