WARNING!

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active

driving involvement. It is always the driver’ s responsibility to be attentive of road,

traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most

importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road

conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe

control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and

death or serious personal injury.

The ACC system:

•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,a

stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited

The Cruise Control system has two control modes:

•AdaptiveCruiseControlmodeformaintaininganappropriatedistancebetween

vehicles.

preset speed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise

Control Mode” in this section.

Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.

Always be aware of the mode selected.

You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control modes

function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.
