HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and gouses radar and camera sensors to maintaina set gap between your vehicle and thevehicle in front of you while following it to acomplete stop. Stop and go can also be setto follow a vehicle directly in front of you andadjust the set speed, while you are at acomplete stop.

LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,detection issues can occur due to the roadinfrastructures, for example bridges,tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,the system may brake late orunexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening, ifrequired.
WARNING: If the systemmalfunctions, have your vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
WARNING: Large contrasts in outsidelighting can limit sensor performance.
WARNING: The system only warnsof vehicles detected by the radar sensor.In some cases there may be no warningor a delayed warning. Apply the brakeswhen necessary. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personal injuryor death.
WARNING: The system may notdetect stationary or slow moving vehiclesbelow 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING: The system does notdetect pedestrians or objects in the road.
WARNING: The system does notdetect oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly if the sensor is blocked.Keep the windshield free from obstruction.
WARNING: The sensor mayincorrectly track lane markings as otherstructures or objects. This can result in afalse or missed warning.
The camera is mounted on the windshieldbehind the interior mirror.

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:You cannot see the sensor. It is behinda fascia panel.
Note:Keep the front of your vehicle free ofdirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle frontprotectors, aftermarket lights, additionalpaint or plastic coatings could also degradesensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructsthe camera or the sensor. When somethingblocks the sensor, the system cannot detecta vehicle ahead and does not function. SeeAdaptive Cruise Control – InformationMessages (page 267).
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.It may not detect vehicles at all or detect avehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle image does notilluminate if the system does not detect avehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
BWith vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in front whendriving into and coming out of abend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicleor damage occurs, the radar-sensing zonemay change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clearview of the road by the windshield-mountedcamera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.

WARNING: Normal cruise control willnot brake when your vehicle isapproaching slower vehicles. Always beaware of which mode you have selectedand apply the brakes when necessary.
You can change from adaptive cruise controlto normal cruise control through theinformation display.
The cruise control indicator lightreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator light if you selectnormal cruise control. The gap setting doesnot display, and the system does not respondto lead vehicles. Automatic braking remainsactive to maintain set speed.
LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERING WORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centeringuses radar and camera sensors to help keepyour vehicle in the middle of the lane byapplying continuous assistance steeringtorque input toward the lane center onhighways.
Note:The adaptive cruise control gap settingoperates normally.
If you drive off-center within the lane, thesystem sets and maintains that preferred laneposition. The system provides continuousassistance steering torque input toward thepreferred position.
Note:The system can only set preferred lanepositions within the lane.
Note:If the system cancels, the preferredposition erases. On the next activation, thesystem provides continuous assistancesteering torque input toward the lane center.
