Active cruise control*

The concept

With active cruise control you can select a

desired speed which is not only automatically

maintained when driving on open roadways, but

also varied to maintain a selected distance set-

ting as slower traffic is encountered.

Active cruise control represents a technological

advance over the familiar cruise control and is a

welcome relief from the constant adjustment of

speed that can accompany driving in traffic on

highways or other high-speed thoroughfares.

Especially on longer trips, the system can

reduce fatigue and tension, while increasing

your enjoyment of driving. Please use it safely

and responsibly.

In addition to holding a steady cruising speed,

if you encounter slower vehicles ahead, active

cruise control will, within the scope of given

possibilities, adjust your vehicle's speed auto-

matically so that you can flow with the traffic

without having to make constant adjustments.

If, for example, while cruising at the selected

speed, you begin to approach a slower vehicle

ahead of you in the same lane, the system will

reduce your vehicle's speed to the same as that

of the vehicle ahead to maintain your selected

distance setting between your vehicle and the

vehicle ahead. You can vary the distance, which

is additionally speed-dependent. Based on

your selected distance setting, the system

automatically decreases the throttle setting and

lightly applies the brakes if necessary. The vehi-

cle brake lamps will automatically illuminate to

signal a following driver to take action. In addi-

tion, it may be necessary for the vehicle to

downshift to maintain the distance setting

selected. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or

when the lane ahead becomes clear, your vehi-

cle will accelerate to the speed you have

selected by increasing the throttle setting and

shifting gears as needed. Your selected speed

will be maintained when driving downhill, too.

Active cruise control is not and must not

be used as a collision avoidance/warning

system.<

Since this active cruise control system is

a new technology and operates differ-

ently from conventional cruise control systems

to which you may be accustomed, you are

strongly urged to read all of the pages relating

to this system before use. Pay special attention

to the information contained in the Things to

know about active cruise control section begin-

ning on page 73.<

Brake pedal feel

> When the system brakes and you also

depress the brake pedal, a somewhat differ-

ent braking feeling results.

> Any noises produced during automatic

braking are normal.

Applications

As with conventional cruise control systems,

active cruise control in no way diminishes or

substitutes for the driver's own personal

responsibility, alertness and awareness in

adjusting speed, braking or otherwise control-

ling the vehicle. The driver should decide when

to use the system on the basis of road, traffic,

visibility, and weather conditions. Active cruise

control is intended for use on highway-type

roadways where traffic is moving relatively

smoothly. Do not use this system in city driving;

heavy traffic such as during rush hour; on curvy,

winding roads, slippery roads or roads with

sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; during

inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or

fog; or when entering interchanges, service/

parking areas or toll booths. It is also important

to regulate your vehicle's speed and distance

setting within applicable legal limits. Always be

ready to take action or apply the brakes if nec-

essary, especially when the system is actively
