Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to traditional
cruise control and is not a safety system. It allows you to
keep cruise control engaged in moderate traffic
conditions without having to constantly reset your cruise
control. Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a distance of
328 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by the driver, the
system can apply limited braking or acceleration of the
vehicle, automatically, to maintain a selected follow
distance to the vehicle ahead. Braking is limited to
0.3 g's (2.95 m/sec2) of deceleration, which is
comparable to moderate application of the vehicle's
brakes. To disengage Adaptive Cruise Control, apply the
brake. If there is not a vehicle in your path, your vehicle
will react like traditional cruise control.
