Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated as a
normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode
the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, push the ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal (Fixed Speed)
Speed Control OFF.
• Pushing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in turning
ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
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.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop while following a target vehicle and hold the
vehicle for approximately 3 minutes in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within 3 minutes the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC system will be
cancelled.
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, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between vehicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant preset speed.
For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” section
in the Owner’s Manual on your DVD.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles. Always be
aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control modes
function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.
