unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING WITH ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC
may have detection issues. In these
cases, ACC may brake late or unex-
pectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene.Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may af-
fect the performance of ACC. If there
is a noticeable change in performance
following the installation of a trailer/
hitch, or if the ACC performance does
not return to normal after removing
the trailer/hitch see your authorized
dealer.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the
same lane that is offset from your
direct line of travel, or a vehicle merg-
ing in from a side lane. There may not
be sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead. The offset vehicle may move in
and out of the line of travel, which can
cause your vehicle to brake or accel-
erate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
In turns or bends, ACC may detect a
vehicle ahead too late or too early.
This may cause your vehicle to brake
late or unexpectedly. Give extra atten-
tion in curves and be ready to apply
the brakes if necessary. Be sure to
select an appropriate speed while
driving in curves.
ACC may occasionally provide brak-
ing and/or a driver alert that you con-
sider unnecessary. This may be the
system’s response to signs, guardrails,
and other stationary objects in a
curve. This may also occur at the base
of steep hills. This is normal operation
and your vehicle does not require ser-
vice.

Using ACC On Hills
When driving on hills, ACC may not
detect a vehicle in your lane. Depend-
ing on the speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions, and the steepness of the
hills, ACC performance may be lim-
ited.
Lane Changing
ACC may not detect a vehicle until it
is completely in the lane in which you
are traveling. In the illustration
shown, ACC has not yet detected the
vehicle changing lanes and it may not
detect the vehicle until it's too late for
the ACC system to take action. ACC
may not detect a vehicle until it is
completely in the lane. There may notbe sufficient distance to the lane-
changing vehicle. Always be attentive
and ready to apply the brakes if nec-
essary.
Narrow Vehicles
Some narrow vehicles traveling near
the outer edges of the lane or edging
into the lane are not detected until
they have moved fully into the lane.
There may not be sufficient distance
to the vehicle ahead.
Stationary Objects And Vehicles
ACC does not react to stationary ob-
jects and stationary vehicles. For ex-
ample, ACC will not react in situa-
tions where the vehicle you are
following exits your lane and the ve-
hicle ahead is stopped in your lane.
Always be attentive and ready to ap-
ply the brakes if necessary.
NORMAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol mode, a normal (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode is available for
cruising at fixed speeds. The normal
Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without
requiring the driver to operate the
134

accelerator. Cruise Control can only
be operated if the vehicle speed is
above 30 km/h.
To change modes, press the MODE
button when the system is in either the
OFF, READY, or SET position.
“Cruise Ready” will be displayed if
the system was in ACC READY or
ACC SET position. “Cruise Off” will
be displayed if the system was in the
ACC OFF position. To switch back to
Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode,
the system will not react to vehicles
ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no
alarm will sound even if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead since nei-
ther the presence of the vehicle
ahead nor the vehicle-to vehicle
distance is detected. Be sure to
maintain a safe distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Always be aware which mode is
selected.To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed
desired, press the SET
-button and
release. The EVIC will display the set
speed.
NOTE: You must observe the dis-
play when setting or changing
speed, not the speedometer.
To Vary The Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set
speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the vehicle to the desired speed and
press the SET -button.
Tap the RES +or SET -button to
increase or decrease the set speed in
1.6 km/h increments respectively.
Hold the RES +or SET -button for
10 km/h increments.
To Cancel
The system will disable normal Cruise
Control without erasing the memory
if:
You softly tap or depress the brake pedal. You press the CANCEL button.
The Electronic Stability Control/
Traction Control System (ESC/
TCS) activates.
To Resume
Press the RES +button and then re-
move your foot from the accelerator
pedal. The EVIC will display the last
set speed.
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the
set speed in memory if:
You push and release the ON/OFF button.
You turn off the ignition.
You switch off ESC.
If the Cruise Control system is turned
off and reactivated, the system will
return to the last driver setting (ACC
or Normal Cruise Control).
