Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) System Description

Function

The ACC system with Low Speed Follow (LSF) uses the multipurpose camera and the millimeter radar to calculate and adjust the
vehicle speed to maintain the appropriate distance between your vehicle and the leading vehicle ahead based on your vehicle speed
and driving conditions. When another vehicle cuts in between your vehicle and the leading vehicle, the system switches the target
vehicle to a new vehicle using the image information (vehicle and lane information) from the multipurpose camera. When the leading
vehicle changes the lane or goes out of the detection range, the vehicle drives at the preset vehicle speed until detecting a new target
vehicle. ACC system works with the cruise control system to adjust the vehicle speed.

The cruise control mode can be entered by operating the distance switch while the ACC is working.

Basic Controls of ACC and Low Speed Follow (LSF)

The ACC system uses the millimeter wave radar to detect the leading vehicle, determines the target vehicle and measures the
distance to the target vehicle and its vehicle speed. (the system also uses the multipurpose camera as needed to determine the
target vehicle based on the lane and vehicle position information)
When there is no leading vehicle, your vehicle drives at the preset speed. When there is a leading vehicle, your vehicle follows
the vehicle and drives within the preset speed.

- Stop holding by controlling

When the vehicle ahead starts
to move, the MID will flash the
stopped message. If you press
the RES/+/SET/– switch up or
down, or depress the accelerator
pedal, ACC/LSF operates again
within the previously set speed.
