Alerting the Driver
The alert symbol will flash and a warning beep will
sound when driver action may be required. If
Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged, the alert
symbol will flash when:
•
Adaptive Cruise Control cannot apply sufficient
braking because you are approaching a
vehicle too rapidly.
•
The vehicle speed drops below about
20 mph (32 km/h).
The Adaptive Cruise
Control alert symbol is
located on the
display at the top of the
instrument panel to
the right of the driver.
•
A temporary condition prohibits Adaptive
Cruise Control from operating. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 239 for
more information.
•
A malfunction is detected in the system. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 239
for more information.
See Defensive Driving on page 296.
CAUTION:
{
Adaptive Cruise Control has only limited
braking ability to slow your vehicle. In
some cases, Adaptive Cruise Control may
not have time to slow your vehicle enough
to avoid a collision. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes yourself. See
Defensive Driving on page 296.
