282 STARTING AND OPERATING
• If equipped with a manual transmission, it is possible to
make gear changes during the normal operation of ACC
that will allow the driver to engage the appropriate gear
with respect to the set speed in order to keep the feature
activated. It is canceled when the clutch pedal is held
down, or when placing the gearbox in NEUTRAL for a
certain maximum time.
• If equipped with an automatic transmission, ACC systems
could automatically downshift to a lower gear when
driving downhill or during accelerations. Therefore, a
slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. This is
normal and necessary to maintain the set speed. When
driving uphill and downhill, the ACC system will cancel if
the braking temperature exceeds normal range (over-
heated).
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by
varying the distance setting between four bars (longest),
three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calcu-
lates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance
setting will show in the instrument cluster display.
Distance Setting 4 Bars (Longest)
