Following a Vehicle
WARNING: When following a vehicle,your vehicle does not always deceleratequickly enough to avoid a crash withoutdriver intervention. Always apply thebrakes when necessary. Failing to do somay result in a crash, serious injury ordeath.
WARNING: Adaptive cruise controlonly warns of vehicles detected by theradar sensor. In some cases there may beno warning or a delayed warning. Youshould always apply the brakes whennecessary. Failure to do so may result in acrash, serious injury or death.
Note:When you are following a vehicle andyou switch on a direction indicator, adaptivecruise control may provide a small temporaryacceleration to help you pass.
Note:The brakes may emit noise whenapplied by the system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters thesame lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in thesame lane, the vehicle speed adjusts tomaintain a preset gap distance. A vehiclegraphic illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap fromthe vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle in front of you accelerates toa speed above the set speed.
•The vehicle in front of you moves out ofthe lane you are in.
•You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow yourvehicle to maintain a safe gap distance fromthe vehicle in front. The system only applieslimited braking. You can override the systemby applying the brakes.
If the system determines that its maximumbraking level is not sufficient, an audiblewarning sounds when the system continuesto brake. A red warning bar displays on thewindshield and you must take immediateaction.
Following a Vehicle to a Complete Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a completestop and remains stationary for less thanthree seconds, your vehicle accelerates froma stationary position to follow the vehicleahead.
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a completestop and remains stationary for more thanthree seconds, press RES+ or the acceleratorpedal to follow the vehicle ahead.
Setting the Gap Distance
Note:The gap setting is time dependent andtherefore the distance adjusts with yourvehicle speed.
Note:It is your responsibility to select a gapappropriate to the driving conditions.
You can decrease or increase the distancebetween your vehicle and the vehicle in frontby pressing the gap control.

Attemptsto place the sticker on a surface that doesnot meet the sticker placement requirementlisted in Step 3 of the setup instruction orentering inaccurate measurements toproceed through setup can result in impropersystem function.
Accurate measurements are critical to correctsystem function. If you need to checkmeasurements entered or change them youcan access them through the trailer menusin the instrument cluster. Choose the optionto change the sticker from the change trailersettings menu. It is not necessary to removethe sticker if you are just reviewing orchanging measurements.

•Make sure that the measurement beingmade is the horizontal distance only frombumper and the hitch ball center. Astraight line distance that includes anyvertical rise or drop will increase themeasurement and make it inaccurate.Inaccurate measurements will degradesystem performance and could causeimproper system function. See step 4 ofthe setup instruction to reviewmeasurement instructions.
Measurement B has reached maximum orminimum value:
•Make sure that the sticker placementinstruction in step 3 of the setup hasbeen followed. Stickers placed outsidethe allowed zone will adversely affect thesystem performance and could causeimproper feature function.

SYNC 3 only supports four languages in a single module for textdisplay, voice control and voice prompts. The country where youbought your vehicle dictates the four languages based on the mostpopular languages spoken. If the selected language is not available,SYNC 3 remains in the current active language.SYNC 3 does not support the currentlyselected language for the instrumentcluster and information and entertainmentdisplay.
The language selected forthe instrument cluster andinformation and entertain-ment display does notmatch the SYNC 3language (phone, USB,Bluetooth audio, voicecontrol and voice prompts).
SYNC 3 offers several new voice control features for a wide range oflanguages. Dialing a contact name directly from the phonebookwithout pre-recording (for example, “call John Smith”) or selecting atrack, artist, album, genre or playlist directly from your media player(for example, "play artist Madonna").
