If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain
the set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in
the same lane, the instrument cluster displays the ACC
Set With Target Indicator Light, and the system adjusts
vehicle speed automatically to maintain the distance
setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:
•
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the
set speed.
•
The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of
the sensor.
•
The distance setting is changed.
•
The system disengages. Refer to "Activating Adap-
tive Cruise Control (ACC)" in this chapter.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; how-
ever, the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC sys-
tem applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts
that its maximum braking level is not sufficient to main-
tain the set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert
"BRAKE!" will flash in the instrument cluster display
and a chime will sound while ACC continues to apply its
maximum braking capacity.
Brake Alert
NOTE:
The "BRAKE!" screen in the instrument cluster display
is a warning for the driver to take action and does not
necessarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning
system is applying the brakes autonomously.
Trailer Detect — If Equipped
When a trailer is detected, the ACC system automati-
cally defaults to the longest setting (four bars). The set-
ting can be overridden by pushing the Distance Button
on the steering wheel.
OVERTAKE AID
When driving with ACC engaged and following a vehicle,
the system will provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing the vehicle. This
additional acceleration is triggered when the driver uti-
lizes the left turn signal and will only be active when
passing on the left hand side.
STARTING AND OPERATING
ACC OPERATION AT STOP
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill
while following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will
resume motion, without any driver interaction, if the
vehicle ahead starts moving within two seconds of your
vehicle coming to a standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, the ACC
with Stop system will cancel and the brakes will
release. A cancel message will display on the instru-
ment cluster display and produce a warning chime. The
driver must now manually operate the vehicle's accel-
erator and brakes.
While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a stand-
still, if the driver seat belt is unbuckled or the driver
door is opened, the ACC with Stop system will cancel
and the brakes will release. A cancel message will dis-
play on the instrument cluster display and produce a
warning chime. The driver must now manually operate
the vehicle's accelerator and brakes.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must
ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
