Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Operation
The speed control buttons (located on the right
side of the steering wheel) operates the ACC
system.
NOTE:
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica-
tions to the vehicle will effect the performance of
the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli-
sion Warning System.
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
You can only engage ACC if the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is
19 mph (30 km/h).
When the system is turned on and in the ready
state, the instrument cluster display will read
“ACC Ready.”
When the system is off, the instrument cluster
display will read “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Off.”
NOTE:
You cannot engage ACC under the following
conditions:
• When in Four-Wheel Drive Low.
• When you apply the brakes.
• When the parking brake is set.
• When the automatic transmission is in PARK,
REVERSE or NEUTRAL.
• When the vehicle speed is outside of the
speed range.
• When the brakes are overheated.
• When the driver door is open at low speeds.
• When the driver seat belt is unbuckled at low
speeds.
• When driver switches ESC to full-off mode.
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 19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall be
defaulted to 19 mph (30 km/h). If the system is
set when the vehicle speed is above 19 mph
(30 km/h), the set speed shall be the current
speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. If
you do not, the vehicle may continue to accel-
erate beyond the set speed. If this occurs:
• The message “DRIVER OVERRIDE” will dis-
play in the instrument cluster display.
• The system will not be controlling the dis-
tance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle speed will only be deter-
mined by the position of the accelerator
pedal.
To Activate/Deactivate
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button. The ACC menu in the
instrument cluster display will read “ACC
Ready.”
