ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC)
OPERATION
Adaptive Cruise Control Buttons
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Co
ntrol, the controls operate exactly
the same as Speed Control with only a couple
of differences. With this option, you can set
a specified distance you would like to main
-
tain between you and the vehicle in front of
you.
If the
ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will
apply limited braking or accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset
f
ollowing
distance, while matching the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead
of you, A
CC will maintain a fixed set speed.
NOTE:
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica-
tions to the vehicle will effect the perfor-
mance of the Adaptive Cruise Control and
F
orward C
ollision Warning System.
Activation
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button.
“ACC READY” will appear in the instrument
cluster d
isplay to indicate the ACC is on.
To Set A Desired ACC Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
push the SET (+) button or the SET (-) button
and release. The instrument cluster display
will show the set speed.
If the system is set when the vehicle speed is
below 20 m
ph (32 km/h), the set speed shall
be defaul
ted to 20 mph (32 km/h). If the
system is
set when the vehicle speed is
above 20
mph (32 km/h), the set speed shall
be the cu
rrent speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary
v
ehicle i
n front of your vehicle in close prox-
imity.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal,
a
fter the
ACC has been set. If you do not, the
vehicle may continue to accelerate beyond
the set speed. If this occurs:
The message “ACC DRIVER OVERRIDE”
will display in the instrument cluster
display.
The system will not be controlling the
distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will only
be determined by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
