(ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
However, it is not a safety system and not designed
to prevent collisions.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC
utilizes a radar sensor and a forward facing
camera designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead
of you.
NOTE:

If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC
will apply limited braking or acceleration (not to
exceed the original set speed) automatically to
maintain a preset following distance, while
matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica -
tions to the vehicle will affect the performance
of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli -
sion Warning system.

In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving
Assist system, Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC
not enabled) will not detect vehicles directly
ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature
selected

WARNING!

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve -
nience system. It is not a substitute for active
driver involvement. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic,
and weather conditions, vehicle speed,
distance to the vehicle ahead and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road condi -
tions. Your complete attention is always
required while driving to maintain safe control
of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn -
ings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.

The ACC system:

Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stationary 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 condi -
tions.

Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.

Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and hold the vehicle in the stop position
for approximately 10 minutes when
following a vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead does not start moving within
10 minutes, the parking brake will be acti -
vated, and the ACC system will be
cancelled.
