Jeep 2020 RENEGADE, Owner'S Manual

Page: 186 / 484

184 STARTING AND OPERATING
Distance Setting 1 Bar (Short)
To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting Increase button and release.
Each time the button is pushed, the distance
setting increases by one bar (longer). Once the
longest setting is reached, if the button is
pushed again it will be set to the shortest
setting available.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will
maintain the set speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is detected in the same lane, the
instrument cluster display will show the ACC Set
With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the
system adjusts vehicle speed automatically to
maintain the distance setting, regardless of the
set speed.
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 “Activating
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” in this
chapter).
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 appear 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. This additional acceleration
is triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn
signal and will only be active when passing on
the left hand side.
