ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead.
ACC is not a substitute for driving safely, with
due care and attention. ACC may not function
properly under all weather and road
conditions.
Do not use ACC in poor visibility, specifically
fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
ACC is not a collision warning or avoidance
system and driver's should not assume that
this feature will correct errors of judgement
while driving.
Additionally, ACC will not react to:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
6 mph (10 km/h).
• Pedestrians or objects in the road.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is mounted behind the
bumper cover to the left of the cooling
aperture, to provide a clear view forward for the
radar beam.
• Only use ACC when it is safe to do so and
conditions are favorable (i.e. main roads
with free flowing traffic).
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
• It is the drivers responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
• Keep the front of the vehicle free from dirt,
metal badges or objects, including vehicle
front protectors, which may prevent the
sensor from operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a
highway.
USING ACC
1. Gap decrease button.
2. RES (Resume): Resumes the ACC set
speed after it has been disengaged.
3. CAN (Cancel) button.
4. Gap increase button.
The system is operated by controls mounted
on the steering wheel. The driver can also
intervene at any time by use of the brake or
accelerator pedals.
Setting the vehicle speed, activating and
deactivating ACC is done in the same way as
using cruise control. See 96, USING CRUISE
CONTROL.
ENTERING FOLLOW MODE
When in follow mode, the vehicle will not
decelerate automatically to a stop, nor will
the vehicle always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a collision.
Once a set speed has been selected, the driver
can release the accelerator and the set road
speed will be maintained.
