Following a Vehicle

WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor will the
vehicle always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Always apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar
sensor. In some cases there may be
no warning or a delayed warning. You
should always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.
Note: When the adaptive cruise control
adjusts the brakes, you may hear a noise.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. You can
adjust the distance setting.
The lead vehicle graphic illuminates.

Cruise Control
When you are following a vehicle and you
switch on your left-turn signal, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small
temporary acceleration to help you pass.
The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out
of your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. The maximum
braking which the system can apply is
limited. You can override the system by
applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an
audible warning will sound while the
system continues to brake. You will see a
red warning bar displayed on the
windshield. You should take immediate
action.

Setting the Gap Distance

Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.
