• The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full stop

when following a target vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle

follows a target vehicle to a standstill, after two

seconds the driver will either have to press the RES

(resume) button, or apply the accelerator pedal to

reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.

• 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. When driving up hill and down hill, the

ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature

exceeds normal range (overheated).
