Adaptive Cruise Control - Cadillac XT5 2017 Owner's Manual

Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase
the vehicle speed. When you take your
foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow
down to the previous set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal or
shortly following the release to
override cruise, briefly applying SET
will result in cruise set to the current
vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you
might have to step on the accelerator
pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, the cruise control
system may automatically brake to
slow the vehicle down. Also, you may
have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. If the brake
pedal is applied, cruise control
disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise
control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press .
Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
Press .
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased
from memory if is 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
DRIVING AND OPERATING
regular cruise control. ACC uses
camera and radar sensors. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0 348.
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
electronic stability control system
activates, the ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 206. 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.
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
