Owner’s Manuals 2020 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours and, if the detected vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and stop your vehicle, without you having to keep your foot on the brake or the accelerator. When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle's brake lights will illuminate.

■Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed

  1. Press the MAIN button. The ACC indicator appears.
  2. Accelerate to the desired speed.

    Above 25 mph (40 km/h): Take your foot off the pedal and press the SET switch down to set the speed.

    Below 25 mph (40 km/h) (Low Speed Follow): Press the SET switch down to set the speed at 25 mph (40 km/h).

■Adjusting the Vehicle Speed

Press the RES switch to increase speed or the SET switch to decrease speed.

Each time you press the switch up or down, the vehicle speed is increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1 km/h). If you keep the switch pressed up or down, the vehicle speed increases or decreases by 5 mph or 5 km/h until you release it.

■Adjusting the Vehicle Distance

Press the Interval button to change the following interval. Each time you press the button, the setting cycles through extra long, long, middle, and short.

■During Operation

If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is turned on, the system maintains, accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed to keep the vehicle’s set following interval from the vehicle ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-information display to alert you.
Warning
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited braking capability and may not stop your vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly stops in front of you.

Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.

■Canceling ACC

You can press the CANCEL button, MAIN button, or the brake pedal. The ACC with Low Speed Follow indicator goes off.

Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel automatically. When this happens, appears on the multi-information display.

Warning
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed Follow can lead to a crash.

Use ACC with Low Speed Follow only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
