There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speedincreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working, you can accelerate th
e vehicle beyond the
presently set speed. When the vehicle spee
d reaches your desired
speed, push down and
release the “SET -”
switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.

conditions, such as
rain, snow or fog.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre-quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary spare tire is beingused.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.WA R N I N G
• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, same type, and same brand,
