Setting The Following Distance In Acc - Jeep 2014 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

194 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
If the SET - button is continually pressed, the set speed
will continue to decrease in 5 mph (10 km/h) increments
until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is
reflected in the EVIC display.
NOTE:
• When you override and push the SET + button or SET -
button, the new speed vehicle is traveling will secure the
new set speed.
• When you use the SET - button to decelerate, if the
engine's braking power does not slow the vehicle
sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system
will automatically slow the vehicle.
• The ACC system can only apply limited braking
capability and will not bring the vehicle to a complete
stop.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up
hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting
may occur while climbing uphill or descending down-
hill. This is normal operation and necessary to main-
tain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the
ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature
exceeds normal range (overheated).

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

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.
