Pressing the SET - button once will result in a 1 mph
(1 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of
the button results in a decrease of 1 mph (1 km/h).

NOTE:

• When you use the SET - button to decelerate, if the

engine’s braking power does not slow the vehicle
sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system
will automatically slow the vehicle.

• The ACC system can only apply a maximum of 25% of

the vehicle’s braking capability and will not bring the
vehicle to a complete stop.

• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up

hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting
may occur while climbing uphill or descending down-
hill. This is normal operation and necessary to main-
tain set speed.
