Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)

Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and a set following interval behind a vehicle detected ahead of yours. When the vehicle ahead changes speed, ACC senses the change and accelerates or decelerates to maintain a set interval.

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 RES/+/SET/- to set the speed.

    Below 25 mph (40 km/h) (Low Speed Follow): Press SET/- 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 Following Interval

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

When in Operation

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.

When a vehicle detected ahead is within ACC with low speed follow range and stops, your vehicle also stops. The Stopped message appears on the multi-information display.

When the vehicle ahead of you starts again, the vehicle icon on the multi-information display blinks. Press RES/+/SET/- up or down, or press the accelerator pedal to resume the prior set speed.

WARNING

Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with LSF system is operating can result in the vehicle moving without operator control. Always make sure Park (P) is selected before exiting the vehicle.

A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death.

Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with LSF.

WARNING

ACC with LSF 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 if the conditions require.

Canceling ACC

You can press either the CANCEL button or the CRUISE button, or press the brake pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.

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

After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by pressing the RES/+ switch.

Press the MAIN button to turn the system off.

WARNING

Improper use of ACC with LSF can lead to a crash.

Use ACC with LSF only when driving on expressways or freeways and in good weather conditions.
