Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set
speed and following gap to be
selected. Read this entire
section before using this
system. The following gap is
the following time (or distance)
between your vehicle and a
vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in
the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular
cruise control. ACC uses a
camera and radar sensor(s) to
detect other vehicles. See
Radio Frequency Statement
0395.
If a vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC can apply
acceleration or limited,
moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If ACC is controlling the vehicle speed when the
Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
0221. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will
disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see “Alerting the
Driver” later in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0196.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.
