Adaptive Cruise Control - Cadillac CT6 2017 Owner's Manual

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 for selecting
the cruise control set speed and
following gap. Read this entire section
before using this system. ACC uses a
camera and radar sensors to detect
other vehicles. The following gap is
the following time (or distance)
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.
If a vehicle is detected in your path,
ACC can speed up the vehicle or apply
limited, moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the brake. If the
Traction Control System (TCS) or
®
StabiliTrak electronic stability
control system activates while ACC is
engaged, ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 208. When
road conditions allow ACC to be safely
used, ACC can be turned back on. ACC
DRIVING AND OPERATING
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
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 0 185.
