Setting The Following Distance
The specified following distance for ACC can be
set by varying the distance setting between four
bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (me-
dium) 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 appears in the instrument clus-
ter display.
• To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting—Increase button and re-
lease. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting—Decrease button and re-
lease. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a
standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds
of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for
any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a stand-
still, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and
the brakes will release. A cancel message will
display on the instrument cluster display and
produce a warning chime. Driver intervention
will be required at this moment.
While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a
standstill, if the driver seatbelt is unbuckled or
the driver door is opened, the ACC with Stop
system will cancel and the brakes will release. A
cancel message will display on the instrument
cluster display and produce a warning chime.
Driver intervention will be required at this
moment.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
Changing Modes
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode
can be turned off and the system can be oper -
ated as a Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control
mode. When in the Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control mode the distance setting fea-
ture will be disabled and the system will main-
tain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise con-
trol modes, push the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button which turns the ACC and
the Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control off.
• Pushing the Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control on/off button will result in turning on

Cruise Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual for further
