Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When ACC detects a slower moving vehicle, it will
adjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain the follow
distance (gap) you select.
Use the GAP button on
the steering wheel to
adjust the follow distance.
Press the top of the button to increase the distance or
the bottom of the button to decrease the distance.
The first button press will show you the current follow
distance setting on the HUD. Your current follow
distance setting will be maintained until you change it.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(1 second to 2 seconds follow time).
The distance maintained for a selected follow distance
will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed the further back you will follow. Consider
traffic and weather conditions when selecting the
follow distance. The range of selectable distances may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions.
If you choose to travel at a distance farther than
ACC allows, disengage ACC and drive manually.
A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected follow
distance. This picture shows a maximum follow distance.
The vehicles will move closer as you select a smaller
follow distance.
