Setting The Following Distance; Changing Modes (Acc Only) - Dodge charger 2018 User Manual

Setting The Following Distance

The specified following distance for ACC can be
set by varying the distance setting between four
bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (me-
dium) and one bar (short). Using this distance
setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates
and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This
distance setting appears in the instrument clus-
ter display.
• To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting—Increase button and re-
lease. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, push the
Distance Setting—Decrease button and re-
lease. Each time the button is pushed, the
distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).

Changing Modes (ACC Only)

If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode
can be turned off and the system can be oper-
ated as Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control
mode. While in the Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control mode the distance setting feature will
be disabled and the system will maintain the
speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control
modes, push the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button which turns the ACC and
the Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control off.
• Pushing the Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control on/off button will result in turning on
(changing to) the Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control mode.

The ACC system:

vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a dis-

• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be lim-
ited upon adverse sight distance condi-
tions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a target vehicle and hold
the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop posi-
tion. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC sys-
tem will display a message that the system
