Warning (Continued)
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
Vehicles in front of your vehicle that have
a rear aspect that is low, small,
or irregular
An empty truck or trailer that has no
cargo in the cargo bed
Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end
Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages
Vehicles that are low to the road surface
Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle
Vehicles on which extremely heavy cargo
is loaded in the cargo area or rear seat
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
The front camera is blocked or visibility is
reduced.
The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
been disabled.
There is a fault in the system.
A DIC message displays to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC
is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control in this section.
Always consider driving conditions before
using either cruise control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a
detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. See Alert Type
and Adaptive Cruise Go Notifier in
Collision/Detection Systems under Vehicle
Personalization 0 108.
When the vehicle ahead drives away, press
RES+ or the accelerator pedal to resume
ACC. If stopped for more than two minutes
or if the driver door is opened and the
driver seat belt is unbuckled, the ACC
automatically applies the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle. The EPB
status light will turn on. See Electric Parking
Brake 0 210.
