Driving and Operating 247
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster. It only displays
when a vehicle is detected in your
vehicle’s path moving in the same
direction. If this symbol is not
displaying, ACC will not respond to
or brake for vehicles ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle
down and adjusts vehicle speed to
follow a detected vehicle ahead at
the selected following gap. The
vehicle speed increases or
decreases to follow a detected
vehicle in front of your vehicle when
that vehicle is traveling slower than
your vehicle set speed. It may apply
limited braking, if necessary. When
braking is active, the brake lamps
will come on. The automatic braking
may feel or sound different than if
the brakes were applied manually.
This is normal.Stationary or Very Slow-Moving
Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to
stopped or slow-moving vehicles
ahead of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected
moving. This can occur in
stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to
a vehicle ahead changing lanes.
Your vehicle may not stop and
could cause a crash. Use caution
when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready
to take action and apply the
brakes.

ACC may have difficulty detecting
the following objects:
. Vehicles in front of your vehicle
that have a rear aspect that is
low, small, or irregular .

no cargo in the cargo bed
. Vehicles with cargo extending
from the back end
. Non-standard shaped vehicles,
such as vehicle transport,
vehicles with a side car fitted,
or horse carriages
. Vehicles that are low to the road
surface
. Objects that are close to the
front of your vehicle
. Vehicles on which extremely
heavy cargo is loaded in the
cargo area or rear seat

250 Driving and Operating

alert and/or braking that is

until it is completely in the lane. The
brakes may need to be manually
applied.Objects Not Directly in Front of
Your Vehicle
The detection of objects in front of
the vehicle may not be possible if:

not within your lane.
