maintain a set distance from vehicles in front. ACC may also automatically apply braking when necessary. When 

vehicles ahead clear, ACC resumes the set speed.

greatest interval is reached, the distance returns to the shortest interval when the button is pressed again.

Note: This feature is not a substitute for attentive driving. Adaptive Cruise Control only works when driving above 16mph. See the Owner’s Manual for further details and important limitations.
