SPEED CONTROL

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
— If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control, the controls operate exactly the same
as the standard cruise control, with one differ-
ence. You can set a specified distance you
would like to maintain between you and the
vehicle in front of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset fol-
lowing distance while matching the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
Your vehicle will not exceed the cruise speed
you have set.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle di-
rectly ahead of you, it functions like a stan-
dard cruise control system, maintaining the
speed you set.

SAFETY FEATURES

Forward Collision Warning With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
can provide the driver with active braking, au-
dible and visual warnings (within the instru-
ment cluster display) and may apply a brake
jerk to warn the driver when it detects a poten-
tial frontal collision. The warnings and limited
braking are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid or mitigate the
potential collision.
The system status can be selected to: "Off",
"Only Warning", and "Warning & Braking".
"Warning & Braking" status with "Medium"
sensitivity are the default settings, but can be
changed within the Uconnect settings under
"Safety and Driving Assistance".
FCW monitors the information from the
forward-looking sensor, as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC) and wheel speed
sensors, to calculate the probability of a colli-
sion. When the system determines that a colli-
or
sion is probable, a warning message (both au-
dible and visual) will be displayed within the
