226 Driving and Operating
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control

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. See Declaration
of Conformity 0 347.
If a vehicle is detected in your path,
ACC can accelerate or moderately
decelerate 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
electronic stability control system
activates, the ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
is
Control 0 220. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely
used, the ACC can be turned
back on.
ACC will not engage if the TCS or
StabiliTrak electronic stability control
system is disabled.
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 should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0 188.
Warning
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.
