Adaptive Cruise Control enhances traditional cruise control by maintaining a driver-select-
ed following gap between your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly ahead. Once a speed
is set, the vehicle will maintain the selected gap distance by braking or accelerating.
When a slower vehicle is detected ahead, the
Vehicle Ahead symbol is displayed and
the vehicle brakes moderately to maintain the selected following gap. If driver action is
required, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps
sound (if selected).
