Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following-interval behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the accelerator. When ACC slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicles brake lights will illuminate.
1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Important Reminder As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a safe interval between your vehicle and other vehicles.
For directions on the proper handling of the radar sensor, refer to the following page.

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

There is a vehicle ahead ACC monitors if a vehicle ahead of you enters the ACC range. If a vehicle is detected doing so, the ACC system maintains or decelerates your vehicles set speed in order to keep the vehicles set following-interval from the vehicle ahead.
2 To Set or Change Following-interval P. 475
When a vehicle whose speed is slower than your set speed is detected in front of you, your vehicle starts to slow down.
When in Operation 1When in Operation
If the vehicle detected ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle is detected cutting in front of you, the beeper sounds and a message appears on the multi-information display.
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate interval from the vehicle ahead.

There is no vehicle ahead Your vehicle maintains the set speed without having to keep your foot on the brake or accelerator pedal. If there previously was a vehicle detected ahead that kept your vehicle from traveling at the set speed, ACC accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and then maintains it.
When you depress the accelerator pedal You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or visual alerts even if a vehicle is in the ACC range. ACC stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator pedal, the system resumes the set speed. There are times when the vehicle speed will decrease when the accelerator pedal is lightly applied.
1When in Operation
Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances: The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the
same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle. A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster
than your vehicle, gradually increasing the interval between the vehicles.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle in front of you comes in and goes out of the ACC detecting range. Change the ACC Forward Vehicle Detect Beep setting.
