Resuming the set speed

Press and release the RESUME

control. This will automatically

return the vehicle to the previously

set speed. The set speed will display

continuously in the message center

while ACC is active.

Note: RESUME should only be used

if the driver is aware of the set

speed and intends to return to it.

Low speed automatic cancellation

ACC is not functional at vehicle speeds below 18 mph (30 km/h). Once

the vehicle speed drops below 18 mph (30 km/h), an audible alarm will

sound, the head’s up display will flash and the automatic braking will be

released.

Hilly condition usage

It is recommended that the driver select a lower gear position when ACC

is active in situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades

(i.e., driving in mountainous areas). In these situations, additional engine

braking is needed to reduce the load on the vehicle’s regular brake

system to prevent them from overheating. For more information,

reference Automatic transmission operation in the Driving chapter.

Note: If ACC is applying brakes for an extended period of time, an

audible alarm will sound, the head’s up display will flash and ACC will

shut down. This is to allow the brakes to cool down. When the brakes

have cooled down, the ACC will again function normally.
