Jeep 2015 Cherokee Operating Information Manual page 112

Distance Setting 2 Bars (Medium)
Distance Setting 1 Bar (Short)
To increase the distance setting, press the
Distance Setting — Increase button and re-
lease. 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 re-
lease. Each time the button is pressed, the
distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter).
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 EVIC/
DID displays the "Sensed Vehicle Indicator"
icon, 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 the infor-
mation on ACC Activation).
The maximum braking applied by ACC is lim-
ited; however, the driver can always apply the
brakes manually, if necessary.
NOTE:
The brake lights will illuminate whenever the
ACC system applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert "BRAKE" will flash in the
EVIC/DID and a chime will sound while ACC
continues to apply its maximum braking capac-
ity.
