Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your
vehicle does not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor does
your 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. Failure to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
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. A
vehicle graphic illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
When you are following a vehicle and you
switch on your left directional indicator,
adaptive cruise control may provide a
small temporary acceleration to help you
pass.

Cruise Control
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap
from 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 the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The vehicle applies 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 is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system
continues to brake. The red warning bar
appears on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
Following a Vehicle to a Complete
Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
complete stop and remains stationary for
less than three seconds, your vehicle
automatically accelerates from a
stationary position to follow the vehicle
ahead when you release the brake pedal.
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
complete stop and remains stationary for
more than three seconds, you must press
and release the RES+ button or the
accelerator pedal to accelerate from a
stationary position and follow the vehicle
ahead when you release the brake pedal.
Setting the Gap Distance
You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front by pressing the gap control.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.
