Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and maintain
the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the
same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a specified
distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a
standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each time
the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and
short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle
is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance
setting displays in the EVIC.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed
speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise modes, press the MODE button when the
system is in either the OFF, READY or SET state. Pressing of the MODE button in any
state will result in changing to the new Mode in the OFF state.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver of a potential collision with the
vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. A warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
