To Accelerate For Passing; To Resume Speed; To Deactivate; Adaptive Cruise Control (Acc) - If Equipped - Chrysler 300 2017 Owner's Manual

To Accelerate For Passing

Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Speed Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on mod-
erate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Speed Control.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the condi-
tions, and you could lose control and have an
accident. Do not use Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.

To Resume Speed

To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
150

To Deactivate

A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC
button, or normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will deactivate the Speed Control
without erasing the set speed from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or turning the ignition
switch OFF erases the set speed from memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(ACC) — IF EQUIPPED
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the
driving convenience provided by cruise control
while traveling on highways and major road-
ways. However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions. Speed Control
function performs differently. Please refer to
the proper section within this chapter.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control en-
gaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your cruise
control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a
forward facing camera designed to detect a
vehicle directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead
of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelerate
(not to exceed the original set speed) auto-
matically to maintain a preset following dis-
tance, while matching the speed of the ve-
hicle ahead.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining
an appropriate distance between vehicles.
• Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control mode
for cruising at a constant preset speed. For
additional information, refer to "Normal (Fixed
Speed) Cruise Control Mode" in this section.
NOTE:
Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control will not
react to preceding vehicles. Always be aware of
the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Control buttons. The two control modes function
differently. Always confirm which mode is se-
lected.
