Dodge Durango 2015, Operating Information Manual

Page: 111 / 738

NOTE:
•
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
•
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accel-
eration (not to exceed the original set
speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
•
Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining
an appropriate distance between vehicles.
•
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed con-
trol mode for cruising at a constant preset
speed. For additional information, refer to
“Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode”
in this section.
NOTE:
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed con-
trol will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Control buttons. The two control modes function
differently. Always confirm which mode is se-
lected.
WARNING!
•
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic,
and weather conditions, vehicle speed, dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead; and, most impor-
tantly, brake operation to ensure safe opera-
tion of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious
personal injury.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
The ACC system:
•
Does not react to pedestrians, oncom-
ing vehicles, and stationary objects
(e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam
or a disabled vehicle).
•
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance
conditions.
•
Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
