DAPTIVE RUISE ONTROL
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
However, it is not a safety system and not designed
to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control function
performs differently Ú page 109.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC
utilizes a radar sensor and a forward-facing
camera designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead
of you to maintain a set speed.
NOTE:
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC

will apply limited braking or accelerate (not to
exceed the original set speed) automatically to
maintain a preset following distance, while
matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica-

tions to the vehicle will affect the performance
of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli-
sion Warning system.
Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)

will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you.
Always be aware of the feature selected
Ú page 314.
(ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-

nience system. It is not a substitute for active
driver involvement. It is always the driver's
responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic,
and weather conditions, vehicle speed,
distance to the vehicle ahead and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road condi-
tions. Your complete attention is always
required while driving to maintain safe control
of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn-
ings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
The ACC system:

Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming

vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a
disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather

conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance
conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex

driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
WARNING!
(Continued)
STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING!
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop

while following a target vehicle and hold
the vehicle for two seconds in the stop
position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within two seconds the ACC
system will display a message that the
system will release the brakes and that
the brakes must be applied manually. An
audible chime will sound when the brakes
are released.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,

sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situa-
tions (i.e., in highway construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway

off-ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.

When circumstances do not allow safe driving

at a constant speed.
