DRIVING AND OPERATING
Turning off the TCS or StabiliTrak/
ESC system will disengage the cruise
control.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate,
especially when used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate highways.
When used on other roads, you may
need to take over the control of
braking or acceleration more often.
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 0 227.
Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:

when the sensors are blocked by
snow, ice, or dirt. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
Keep the entire front of the

these conditions.

cause excessive wheel slip.
