Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h(25 mph) or more can be maintained without keepingyour foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not workat speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise controllight appears in the instrument panel cluster when thecruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise controlshuts off.
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TractionControl System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control automatically turns off. SeeTractionControl System (TCS) on page 5-6. When roadconditions let you safely use it again, the cruise controlcan be turned back on.
Setting Cruise Control
{WARNING:
If you leave your cruise control on when you are
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you do not want to. You could be
startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise
control switch off until you want to use cruise
control.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills dependsupon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of thehills. When going up steep hills, you might have tostep on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’sspeed. When going downhill, you might have to brake orshift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speeddown. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gearends cruise control. If you need to apply the brakeor shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhillslope, you might not want to attempt to use thecruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brakepedal, or press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased whenthe cruise control or the ignition is turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement totraditional cruise control. It allows you to keep cruisecontrol engaged in moderate traffic conditions withouthaving to constantly reset your cruise control.ACC uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead inyour path, within a distance of 100 m (330 ft), andoperates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). When it isengaged by the driver, the system can apply limitedbraking or acceleration of the vehicle automatically tomaintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle ahead.Braking is limited to 2.45 m/sec2 (0.25 g’s) ofdeceleration, which is comparable to moderate

Page 187 of 480

If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly,ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.
{WARNING:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is blocked
by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a vehicle
ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time
to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the
radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your
radar clean. See “Cleaning the System” later in
this section.
ACC automatically slows your vehicle down whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjustsyour vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front atthe selected follow distance. Your vehicle speedincreases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front ofyou, but will not exceed the set speed. It may applylimited braking, if necessary. When braking is active,your brake lights will come on. Braking may feelor sound different than if you were applying the brakesyourself. This is normal.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. You could crash into an
object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when approaching stationary or
slow-moving vehicles or other objects.
{WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate
toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that
suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes
lanes. Your complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
