Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it allows the driver to
select the cruise control set speed and
following gap. Read this entire section
before using this system. The
following gap is the following time
between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your path, ACC
works like regular cruise control. ACC
uses camera and radar sensors.
If a vehicle is detected in your path,
ACC can apply acceleration or limited,
moderate braking to maintain the
selected following gap. To disengage
ACC, apply the brake. If ACC is
controlling your vehicle speed when
the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system activates, the ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Control/Electronic Stability Control
. When road conditions allow
ACC to be safely used, the ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC
system will disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate,
especially when used on expressways,
dual carriageways and motorways.
When used on other roads, you may
need to take over the control of
braking or acceleration more often.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle
while navigating a bend and may
increase speed out of the bend, but
will not exceed the set speed.
{
Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and
may not have time to slow the
vehicle down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle you
are following. This can occur when
vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“
Alerting the Driver
”
in this section.
Complete attention is always
required while driving and you
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See
{
Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.
On winding and hilly roads or
when the sensors are blocked by
snow, ice, or dirt. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
Keep the entire front of the
vehicle clean.
.
Visibility is low, such as in mist,
rain, or snow conditions. ACC
performance is limited under
these conditions.
.
On slippery roads where fast
changes in tyre traction can
cause excessive wheel slip.
.
When towing a trailer.
