Jeep 2020 RENEGADE, Owner'S Manual, Page: 185 / 484

STARTING AND OPERATING 183
NOTE:

When you override and push the SET (+)
button or SET (-) button, the new set speed
will be the current speed of the vehicle.

When you use the SET (-) button to decel -
erate, if the engine’s braking power does not
slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set
speed, the brake system will automatically
slow the vehicle.

If equipped with a manual transmission, it is
possible to make gear changes during the
normal operation of ACC that will allow the
driver to engage the appropriate gear with
respect to the set speed in order to keep the
feature activated. It is canceled when the
clutch pedal is held down, or when placing
the gearbox in NEUTRAL for a certain
maximum time.

If equipped with an automatic transmission,
ACC systems could automatically downshift
to a lower gear when driving downhill or
during accelerations. Therefore, a slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
This is normal and necessary to maintain the
set speed. When driving uphill and downhill,
the ACC system will cancel if the braking
temperature exceeds normal range (over -
heated).
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be
set by varying the distance setting between four
bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars
(medium) and one bar (short). Using this
distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle
ahead. This distance setting will show in the
instrument cluster display.
Distance Setting 4 Bars (Longest)
Distance Setting 3 Bars (Long)
Distance Setting 2 Bars (Medium)
