HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
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: Do not use adaptive
cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death. WARNING:
Pay close attention to
changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are unpaved, or steep slopes. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system is not a
crash warning or avoidance system. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not use tire sizes
other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury. WARNING:
Do not use the system
with a snow plow blade installed. WARNING:
Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.
When Following a Vehicle WARNING:
When following a
vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Hilly Condition Usage
Select a lower gear when the system is
active in situations such as prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, for
example in mountainous areas.

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect
a vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does
not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.
Detection Issues Can Occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A
With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a
clear view of the road by the windshield
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•
The camera is blocked.
• There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
• There are bad weather conditions.
SWITCHING ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel. See Visual Search (page 32).
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control
On Press the button to activate the
system. When the system
activates, the set speed is equal
to whichever is greater, the current vehicle
speed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or
20 km/h when in metric units. If the speed
is too low, or other conditions are not
correct for adaptive cruise control
activation, the system enters standby
mode. When you are below 15 mph when
in imperial units or 20 km/h when in metric
units, adaptive cruise control does not
activate unless you are following another
vehicle.
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the instrument cluster
display.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis controls, powertrain
response, transmissions shift points,
four-wheel driveline setting, exhaust noise
level and suspension dampening are
automatically altered to a pre-determined
setting depending upon the drive mode
that is selected.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode and the
driveline remains in the four-wheel drive
setting that was last selected prior to the
system fault. Note:
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode
each time it is started. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no the pop up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE Rotate the drive mode control on the
center console to select or change a drive
mode.
Note:
Button icons vary depending on the
vehicle.
