•
If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly
to the second detent, the set speed will adjust in
10 km/h increments. The new set speed is reflected
in the instrument cluster display.
•
If the switch is held upward or downward, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is
released.
NOTE:
•
When you override the set speed by pushing the SET
switch upward or downward, the new set speed will
be the current speed of the vehicle.
•
When you use the SET switch 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 maintains set speed when driving
uphill and downhill. However, a slight speed change
on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshift-
ing may occur while climbing uphill or descending
downhill. This is normal operation and necessary to
maintain set speed. When driving uphill and down-
hill, the ACC system will cancel if the braking tem-
perature exceeds normal range (overheated).
TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING
While the Cruise Control is set, press the accelerator to
pass as you would normally. When the pedal is
released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and
down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is
normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without Cruise
Control.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose con-
trol and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by
varying the distance setting between four bars (lon-
gest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar
(short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle
speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the
vehicle ahead. This distance setting will show in the
instrument cluster display.
To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance
Setting Button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer). Once the longest setting is reached, if the but-
ton is pushed again it will be set to the shortest setting
available.
If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same lane,
the system will then adjust vehicle speed automatically
to maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set
speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:
•
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the
set speed.
•
The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of
the sensor.
