Adaptive Cruise Control
Your XLR is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC). If the lane
ahead is clear, the system will
maintain the set speed the same as
conventional cruise control. When a
vehicle is detected in the same lane
in front of your car, the system will
adjust your speed to maintain a
constant following distance.
If a vehicle in your path is moving at
a significantly slower speed, the
system provides visible and audible
alerts.
Setting Adaptive Cruise Control
ACC is set by using the multifunction
lever located on the steering column.
To activate ACC:
1. Move the cruise control switch to
on (shown at right).
2. Achieve the speed you desire.
3. Press the button at the end of the
lever.
4. Remove your foot from the
accelerator.
Once ACC is engaged and the cruise
speed is set, the ACC symbol ( )
will appear in the HUD display along
with the set speed. Use the GAP
button on the steering wheel to set
the follow distance. Press the + and
– symbols on the steering wheel to
increase or decrease the follow
distance.
The “vehicle ahead” symbol ( ) will
appear on the HUD when a vehicle in
your path is moving slowly enough
for the ACC to respond. ACC will
adjust speed and maintain the set
gap. The ACC may also apply limited
braking if necessary.
Increase, Decrease or Resume
Speed
1. Push the switch to + symbol to
increase set speed.
2. Press the button at the end of the
lever to decrease set speed.
3. Move the switch to + symbol to
resume set speed after braking.
Passing Another Vehicle
If you need to pass a vehicle, use the
accelerator pedal. With your foot on
the gas, the ACC system cannot
automatically apply the brakes. When
you remove your foot from the
accelerator, ACC will return to
normal operation.
Important Note: ACC may not detect
stationary or slow-moving objects that
suddenly appear in your lane, and may
even accelerate toward these objects.
Always give your complete attention to
driving and be prepared to take
appropriate action in all situations.
