electrical accessories such as the lights, climate
control system, and rear de fogger in order to reduce
battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold,
an engine block heater will improve starting and

Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.

Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise c ontrol: Desired speed in a range above
roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~
■Shift position for ACC: In ( D or (S. The radar sensor is
