330 STARTING AND OPERATING
Distance Setting 1 Bar (Short)
To increase the distance setting, push the Distance Setting —
Incre
ase button and release. Each time the button is pushed,
the distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance Setting —
Decre
ase button and release. Each time the button is pushed,
the distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the set
speed
. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the instrument cluster displays the “Sensed Vehicle
Indicator” icon, and the system adjusts vehicle speed auto-
matically to maintain the distance setting, regardless of the
set s
peed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the set
spee
d
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the
sens
or
• The distance setting is changed
• The
system disengages (Refer to the information on ACC
Acti
vation)
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however,
the d
river can always apply the brakes manually, if neces-
sary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC system
a
ppli
es the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts
that
its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain
the set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE!” will
flash in the instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking
capacity.
