Following a Vehicle
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain the gap setting. Note:
When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small temporary
acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from
the vehicle in front. The system only applies
limited braking. You can override the system
by applying the brakes.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
information display and an indicator flashes
when the system continues to brake. Take
immediate action.

Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Resuming the Set Speed from a
Complete Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete
stop and remains stationary for less than
three seconds, your vehicle accelerates from
a stationary position to follow the vehicle
ahead. If your vehicle follows a vehicle to
a complete stop and remains
stationary for more than three
seconds, press and release the button or
press the accelerator pedal to follow the
vehicle ahead.
OVERRIDING THE SET SPEED WARNING: If you override the system
by pressing the accelerator pedal, it does
not automatically apply the brakes to
maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead.
When you press the accelerator pedal, you
override the set speed and gap distance.
Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally
exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the green
indicator illuminates and the vehicle icon
does not appear in the information display. The system resumes operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower
speed if following a slower vehicle.

Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all messages
display or are available. Note:
Certain messages may be abbreviated
or shortened depending upon which cluster
type you have. Action
Message
A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging.
Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available
The radar is blocked because of poor radar visibility due to inclement weather or ice, mud, orwater in front of the radar. You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor
Blocked See Manual Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual
block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicl\
e.
You have selected normal cruise control. The system does not brake or react to traffic.
Normal Cruise Active Adaptive Braking Off
Displays when the adaptive cruise is going to cancel and you must take control.

Adaptive Learning
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning improves overall handling
and steering on roads with irregularities. It
communicates with the brake system to help
operate advanced stability control and
accident avoidance systems. When you
install a new battery or disconnect the
battery, you need to drive your vehicle a
short distance so it can relearn and reactivate
all systems.
Adaptive Steering
The adaptive steering system continually
changes the steering ratio with changes to
the vehicle speed, optimizing the steering
response in all conditions.
The adaptive steering system is designed
with a locking device. When the lock
engages, your vehicle returns to a fixed
steering ratio. Your vehicle may make a
sound when you start or switch off your
vehicle as the lock engages or disengages.
If your vehicle loses electrical power or
detects a fault when you are driving, the lock
engages and you are able to continue
steering. During this time, the steering wheel
may not be straight even when driving
straight ahead. You may need to use a
different steering wheel angle to properly
drive your vehicle. Extreme operating
conditions may cause the lock to engage.
This strategy prevents overheating and
permanent damage to the adaptive steering
system. Typical steering and driving
maneuvers allow the system to cool and
operate as normal.
Note:
The adaptive steering system has
diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system. If the system detects a fault, a
message displays in the information display.
If a red warning message displays, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. The
message may clear if the fault is no longer
present. If an adaptive steering system
warning message appears each time you
start your vehicle, have the system checked
as soon as possible. PRE-COLLISION ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, cyclists or animals.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury.

WARNING: The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
Some situations and
objects prevent hazard detection. For
example low or direct sunlight, inclement
weather, unconventional vehicle types, and
pedestrians. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system cannot help
prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed. Using the Pre-Collision Assist System
The system is active at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and pedestrian
detection is active at speeds up to
50 mph
(80 km/h). If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system is
designed to provide three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert
2. Brake Support
3. Active Braking
Alert
: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
sounds.
Brake Support
: The system is designed to
help reduce the impact speed by preparing
the brakes for rapid braking. Brake support
does not automatically apply the brakes. If
you press the brake pedal, the system could
apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the
brake pedal.
301
Aviator (CTV) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201902, Third-Printing- Driving AidsE156130 E255268

Active Braking: Active braking may activate
if the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or avoid the crash
completely.
Note: Brake Support and Active Braking are
active at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h). If
your vehicle has a radar sensor included
with Adaptive Cruise Control, then Brake
Support and Active Braking are active up to
the maximum speed of the vehicle.
Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
though the manufacturer recommends using
the highest sensitivity setting where possible.
Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer
and later system warnings.
Note: Pre-Collision Assist turns off when you
select deep conditions or deep sand mode. Distance Indication and Alert (If Equipped)
Distance Indication and Alert is a function
that provides the driver with a graphical
indication of the time gap to other preceding
vehicles traveling in the same direction.
Distance Indication and Alert shows one of
the graphics that follow in the information
display. If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays to the
driver.
Note:
Distance Indication and Alert
deactivates and the graphics do not display
when Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
