Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be
set by varying the distance setting between
3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this
distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle
ahead. This distance setting displays in the
EVIC.
To change the distance setting, press the Dis-
tance button and release. Each time the button
is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between
long, medium, and short.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will
maintain the set speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is detected in the same lane, the EVIC
displays the “Sensed Vehicle Indicator” icon,
and the system adjusts vehicle speed automati-
cally to maintain the distance setting, regard-
less of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance
until:
•
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.
•
The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or
view of the sensor.
•
The vehicle ahead slows to a speed below
15 mph (24 km/h) and the system automati-
cally disengages itself.
•
The distance setting is changed.
•
The system disengages. (Refer to the infor-
mation on ACC Activation).
