engaged, ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 241. When
road conditions allow ACC to be safely
used, ACC can be turned back on. ACC
will not engage if the TCS or
StabiliTrak electronic stability control
system is disabled.
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 0 209.
Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
On winding and hilly roads or
when the sensors are blocked
by snow, ice, or dirt. The
system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire
front of the vehicle clean.
Visibility is low, such as in
fog, rain, or snow conditions.
ACC performance is limited
under these conditions.
On slippery roads where fast
changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip.
