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

1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position.
2. Turn the mode control to the AUTO position.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable settingbetween 21°C (68°F) and 26°C (78°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature settingwill not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fanspeeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle untilwarmer air is available. The system starts outblowing air at the floor but may change modesautomatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain thechosen temperature setting. The length of timeneeded to warm the interior depends on the outsidetemperature and temperature of the vehicle.
4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize inorder for the system to regulate automatically. Thenadjust the temperature as necessary to find yourcomfort setting.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center ofthe instrument panel near the windshield. For moreinformation on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later inthis section.
