Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged, driver
action may be required when
ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because of
approaching a vehicle too
rapidly.
When this condition occurs,
the collision alert symbol will
flash on the windshield. Either
eight beeps will sound from
the front, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse
five times. Touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”. See Defensive Driving
0196.
Approaching and Following a
Vehicle
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.
Passing a Vehicle While
Using ACC
If the set speed is high
enough, and the left turn
signal is used to pass a vehicle
ahead in the selected
following gap, ACC may assist
by gradually accelerating the
vehicle prior to the lane
change.
{Warning
When using ACC to pass a
vehicle or perform a lane
change, the following
distance to the vehicle being
passed may be reduced.
ACC may not apply
sufficient acceleration or

Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap
behind a detected vehicle and
slow your vehicle to a stop
behind that vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead
has driven away and ACC has
not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a
reminder to check traffic
ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right
sides of the Safety Alert Seat
will pulse three times, or three
beeps will sound. Touch the
Settings icon on the
infotainment home page.
Select“Vehicle” to display the
list of available options and
select ”Alert Type” and
“Adaptive Cruise Go Notifier”
in “Collision/Detection
Systems”.
If equipped with Driver
Attention System (DAS), when
the vehicle ahead drives away,
and DAS determines that the
driver's attention is on the
road ahead, ACC resumes automatically. See "Attention
to the Road" under Super
Cruise
0236. If necessary,
press RES+ or the accelerator
pedal to resume ACC.
If stopped for more than
two minutes or if the driver
door is opened and the driver
seat belt is unbuckled, the
ACC automatically applies the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle. The EPB
status light will turn on. See
Electric Parking Brake 0217.
A DIC warning message may
display indicating to shift to
P (Park) before exiting the
vehicle. See Vehicle Messages
0 134.
{Warning
If ACC has stopped the
vehicle, and if ACC is
disengaged, turned off,
or canceled, the vehicle will
no longer be held at a stop.
The vehicle can move. When
ACC is holding the vehicle at

Warning (Continued)
a stop, always be prepared
to manually apply the
brakes.
{Warning
Leaving the vehicle without
placing it in P (Park) can be
dangerous. Do not leave the
vehicle while it is being held
at a stop by ACC. Always
place the vehicle in P (Park)
and turn it off before leaving
the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal
while ACC is active, the ACC
indicator turns blue on the
instrument cluster indicating
ACC braking will not occur.
ACC will resume operation
when the accelerator pedal is
not being pressed.
