Precautions While Driving With Acc - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 Operating Information Manual

ACC Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
"ACC/FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error",
there may be a temporary malfunction that
limits ACC functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, ACC will
be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try
activating ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Service ACC Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
"ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sen-
sor", it indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

Precautions While Driving With ACC

In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to
stay alert and may need to intervene.

Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may affect the
performance of ACC. If there is a noticeable
change in performance following the installation
of a trailer/hitch, or if the ACC performance does
not return to normal after removing the trailer/
hitch see your authorized dealer.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the
line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the
system may decrease the vehicle speed and
acceleration for stability reasons, with no target
vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the
curve the system will resume your original Set
Speed. This is a part of normal ACC system
functionality.
NOTE:
On tight turns ACC performance may be
limited.
