Driving
To increase or decrease the number of
bars, corresponding to the gap from
vehicle ahead, press and release the
distance setting button.
Each press and release of the button
changes the gap starting from 3 bars
(default distance) and moving in a
sequential way towards the minimum
distance: 3
→
2
→

→

4 and so
on.
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 system displays the target
vehicle icon before the bars.
From that moment, the system
adjusts vehicle speed automatically
to maintain the distance setting,
regardless 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 distance setting is changed.
• The driver disables the system.
The maximum braking applied by ACC
is limited; however, the driver can
always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary. Any time the ACC system
automatically operates the brakes, the
stop lights will turn on as if the driver
was braking.
A Proximity Warning on display will
alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance.
If this occurs, a visual alert will flash
on the display and a chime will sound
while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.
NOTE:
The displayed warning is a warning
for the driver to take action and does
not necessarily mean that the Forward
Collision Warning (FCW) system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and
following a target vehicle, the system
will provide an additional acceleration
to assist in passing vehicles in front.
This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilises the
left turn signal to start overtaking. In
locations with left hand drive traffic,
overtake aid is active only when
passing on the left hand side of the
target vehicle.
When a vehicle goes from a location
with left hand drive traffic to a
location with right hand drive traffic,
the ACC system will automatically
detect traffic direction. In this
condition, overtake aid is active only
when passing on the right side of
the target vehicle. This additional
acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilises the right turn signal to
start overtaking. In this condition the
ACC system will no longer provide
Overtake Aid on the left side until it
