Honda Cr-v 2007, Owner'S Manual

Page: 291 / 552

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows
you to maintain a set speed and keep
the vehicle ahead of you and your
vehicle at a safe distance without
having to use the accelerator pedal
or the brake pedal.
Do not use ACC under these
conditions:
When the vehicle ahead of you slows
down or speeds up, ACC senses the
change in distance and compensates
by accelerating or braking your
vehicle to reach the cruising speed
you previously set. The distance
between vehicles is based on your
speed: the faster you go, the longer
the distance will be; the slower you
go, the shorter it will be.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows
down suddenly or another vehicle
cuts in front of your vehicle, ACC
alerts you by sounding a beeper and
displaying a symbol ‘‘
’’ (a
‘‘BRAKE’’ message depending on the
customize setting) on the multi-
information display.
The ACC radar sensor in the front
grille can detect and monitor the
distance of a vehicle up to 100
meters (328 feet) ahead of your
vehicle.
On steep downhills.
On winding roads.
When you must slow down and
speed up repeatedly.
In heavy traffic.
In poor visibility.
When you enter a toll gate,
interchange, service area, parking
area, etc. In these areas, there is
no vehicle ahead of you, but ACC
would still try to accelerate to your
set speed.
As with any system, there are limits
to ACC. Inappropriate use of ACC
can result in a serious accident. Use
the brake pedal whenever necessary,
and always keep a safe distance
between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
