Adaptive Cruise Control (Acc) - Jeep Cherokee 2014 User Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)

• If your vehicle is equipped with adap-
tive cruise control the controls operate
exactly the same as the normal (fixed
speed) cruise control with one differ-
ence. You can set a specified distance
you would like to maintain between
you and the vehicle in front of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle
ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a
preset following distance, while match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.
ACC ON/OFF
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button.
• ACC READY will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time
to turn the system off.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate
the ACC is off.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar
(short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets
the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC.
• To increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Increase button and
release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Decrease button
and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by
one bar (shorter).
