Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
Vehicles in front of your vehicle that have
a rear aspect that is low, small,
or irregular
An empty truck or trailer that has no
cargo in the cargo bed
Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end
Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages
Vehicles that are low to the road surface
Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle
Vehicles on which extremely heavy cargo
is loaded in the cargo area or rear seat
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
The front camera is blocked or visibility is
reduced.
Driving and Operating
The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
been disabled.
There is a fault in the system.
A DIC message displays to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC
is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control in this section.
Always consider driving conditions before
using either cruise control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a
detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
When the vehicle ahead drives away, ACC
resumes automatically if the stop was brief.
If necessary, press RES+ up or the
accelerator pedal to resume ACC. If stopped
for more than two minutes or if the driver
