SmartCruise (Optional)
Following Intervals
SmartCruise On
• Normal Operation
As the VORAD-equipped vehicle approaches a target vehicle in
the same lane, the VORAD-equipped vehicle will slow to the
speed of the other vehicle and maintain the set following interval
at their speed. The speed reduction may be accomplished by the
engine ECM (Engine Control Module) issuing a command to
reduce fuel and engaging the engine retarder.
WARNING: If the host vehicle speed and the target vehicle speed
are drastically different, the driver may need to apply the service
brakes to maintain a safe distance. As with cruise control, Smart-
Cruise must be reset after brakes have been applied.
WARNING: If another vehicle in an adjacent lane cuts in front and
continues to the opposite lane, SmartCruise may not respond.
