Driver Assistance Systems - Chevrolet Blazer Owner's Manual

Driving in Narrow Lanes
Vehicles in adjacent traffic lanes or roadside
objects may be incorrectly detected when
located along the roadway.
Do Not Use ACC on Hills and When Towing a
Trailer
Do not use ACC when driving on steep hills
or when towing a trailer. ACC will not detect
a vehicle in the lane while driving on steep
hills. The driver will often need to take over
acceleration and braking on steep hills,
especially when towing a trailer. If the
brakes are applied, the ACC disengages.
Disengaging ACC
There are three ways to disengage ACC:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press .

Erasing Speed Memory
The ACC set speed is erased from memory if
is pressed or if the ignition is turned off.
Weather Conditions Affecting ACC
System operation may be limited under
snow, heavy rain, or road spray conditions.
Accessory Installations and Vehicle
Modifications
Do not install or place any object around
the front camera windshield area that would
obstruct the front camera view.
Do not install objects on top of the vehicle
that overhang and obstruct the front
camera, such as a canoe, kayak, or other
items that can be transported on a roof rack
system. See Roof Rack System 0 76.
Do not modify the hood, headlamps, or fog
lamps, as this may limit the camera s ability
to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield behind
the rearview mirror and the radar sensors
on the front of the vehicle can become
blocked by snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need to be cleaned for ACC to operate
properly.
Driving and Operating
If ACC will not operate, regular cruise control
may be available. See Switching Between
ACC and Regular Cruise Control in this
section. Always consider driving conditions
before using either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see Washing the
Vehicle under Exterior Care 0 318.
