Adaptive Cruise Control

If equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it allows the driver to
select the cruise control set speed and
following gap. Read this entire section
before using this system. The
following gap is the following time
between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path
moving in the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your path, ACC
works like regular cruise control. ACC
uses camera and radar sensors.
If a vehicle is detected in your path,
ACC can apply acceleration or limited,
moderate braking to maintain the
selected following gap. To disengage
ACC, apply the brake. If ACC is
controlling your vehicle speed when
the Traction Control System (TCS) or
electronic stability control system
activates, the ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 206. When
road conditions allow ACC to be safely
used, the ACC can be turned back on.
ACC will not engage if the TCS or
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
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
required while driving and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0 179.
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
mist, rain, or snow conditions.
ACC performance is limited
under these conditions.
On slippery roads where fast
changes in tyre traction can
cause excessive wheel slip.
