(Continued)
NOTE:
Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control will not
rea
ct to preceding vehicles. Always be aware of
the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Con
trol buttons. The two control modes
function differently. Always confirm which mode
is selected.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Operation
The Speed Control buttons (located on the right
side of the steering wheel) operate the ACC
system.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required while
driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians,
oncoming vehicles, and stationary
objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance
conditions.
Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions, which can
result in wrong or missing distance
warnings.
On vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion, will bring the vehicle to a complete
sto
p while following a target vehicle and
hold the vehicle for 2 seconds in the
stop position. If the target vehicle does
not start moving within two seconds the
ACC system will display a message that
the system will release the brakes and
that the brakes must be applied manu
-
ally. An audible chime will sound when
the
brakes are released.
WARNING! (Continued)
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway
construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway
off ramp; when driving on roads that
are winding, icy, snow-covered, slip
-
pery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slo
pes.
When towing a trailer up or down steep
slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
