Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced) - Cadillac CT4 2023 Owner's Manual

234 Driving and Operating
To decrease the vehicle speed in larger
increments, briefly press SET to the
second detent. For each press, the vehicle
speed decreases to the next 5 km/h
(5 mph) mark on the speedometer.
The cruise control system may automatically
brake to slow the vehicle down.
The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 85 or
Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0 82. The
increment value used depends on the units
displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed. When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal or
shortly following the release to override
cruise, briefly applying SET will result in
cruise set to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on
hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load,
and the steepness of the hills. When going
up steep hills, you might have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, the cruise
control system may automatically brake to
slow the vehicle down. Also, you may have
to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control disengages.
Ending Cruise Control
There are five ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press .
Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
Press the clutch pedal for several seconds
or shift to Neutral (manual transmissions).
Press .
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if is pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time between
your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in the same
direction. If no vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular cruise control.
ACC uses camera and radar sensors. See
Radio Frequency Statement 0 386.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
speed up the vehicle or apply limited,
moderate braking to maintain the selected
following gap. To disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If the Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system activates while ACC is engaged,
ACC may automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control
0 223. When road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be turned back on.
ACC will not engage if the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC electronic stability control
system is disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
