DRIVING AND OPERATING 223. To increase vehicle speed in largerincrements, press +RES up to thesecond detent. For each press, thevehicle speed increases to the next5 km/h (5 mph) mark on thespeedometer.When it is determined that there is novehicle ahead inside the selectedfollowing gap, then the vehicle speedwill increase to the set speed.Reducing Speed While ACC is at aSet SpeedDo one of the following:. Use the brake to get to the desiredlower speed. Press SET– down andrelease the accelerator pedal. Thevehicle will now cruise at thelower speed.. Press and hold SET– down untilthe desired lower speed is reached,then release it.. To decrease the vehicle speed insmall increments, press SET−down to the first detent. For eachpress, the vehicle goes about1 km/h (1 mph) slower.. To decrease the vehicle speed inlarger increments, press SET−down to the second detent. Foreach press, the vehicle speeddecreases to the next 5 km/h(5 mph) mark on the speedometer.Selecting the Follow DistanceWhen a slower moving vehicle isdetected ahead within the selectedfollowing gap, ACC will adjust thevehicle's speed and attempt tomaintain the follow distance gapselected.Press [ on the steering wheel toadjust the following gap. Each presscycles the gap button through threesettings: Far, Medium, or Near.When pressed, the current gap settingdisplays briefly on the instrumentcluster and HUD. The gap setting willbe maintained until it is changed.Since each gap setting corresponds toa following time (Far, Medium,or Near), the following distance willvary based on vehicle speed. Thefaster the vehicle speed, the furtherback your vehicle will follow a vehicledetected ahead. Consider traffic andweather conditions when selecting thefollowing gap. The range of selectablegaps may not be appropriate for alldrivers and driving conditions.Changing the gap settingautomatically changes the alert timingsensitivity (Far, Medium, or Near) forthe Forward Collision Alert (FCA)feature. See Forward Collision Alert(FCA) System 0 232.Alerting the DriverIf ACC is engaged, driver action maybe required when ACC cannot applysufficient braking because ofapproaching a vehicle too rapidly.When this condition occurs, thecollision alert symbol on the HUD willflash on the windshield. Either eightbeeps will sound from the front,or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat
