Chrysler 300 C 2009, Owner'S Manual, Page: 165 / 676

STARTING AND OPERATING 163
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance
until:

The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
above the set speed.

The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or
view of the sensor.

The distance setting is changed.

The system disengages. (Refer to the infor -
mation on ACC Activation).
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited;
however, the driver can always apply the brakes
manually, if necessary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the
ACC system applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will flash in the
instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.
Brake Alert
NOTE:
The “BRAKE!” Screen in the instrument cluster
display is a warning for the driver to take action
and does not necessarily mean that the
Forward Collision Warning system is applying
the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following a
vehicle, the system will provide an additional
acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist in
passing the vehicle. In locations with left hand
drive traffic, an additional acceleration is trig -
gered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal
(Lane Change Assist feature included) and will
only be active when passing on the left hand
side. In locations with right hand drive traffic, an
additional acceleration is triggered when the
driver utilizes the right turn signal (Lane Change
Assist feature included) and will only be active
when passing on the right hand side. Switching
lanes will not impact the ACC system if the
driver is already traveling at the set speed.
NOTE:
When the vehicle transitions from a location
with left hand drive traffic to a location with right
hand drive traffic or vice versa, the ACC system
will automatically detect the direction of traffic.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a stand -
still while following a target vehicle, if the target
vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your
vehicle coming to a standstill, your vehicle will
resume motion without the need for any driver
action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a stand -
still, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and
the brakes will release. A cancel message will
display on the instrument cluster display and
produce a warning chime. Driver intervention
will be required at this moment.
