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.

following gap will be displayed.
When the regular cruise control is engaged, a green
J
indicator will be lit on the
instrument cluster; the
following gap will not display.
It is recommended to switch
from ACC to regular cruise
control only, when there are
no vehicles ahead of your
vehicle.
When the vehicle is turned on,
the cruise control mode will be
set to the last mode used
before the vehicle was
turned off.
{Warning
Always check the cruise
control indicator on the
instrument cluster to
determine which mode
cruise control is in before
using the feature. If ACC is
not active, the vehicle will
not automatically brake for
other vehicles, which could
cause a crash if the brakes

are not applied manually.
You and others could be
seriously injured or killed.
Setting Adaptive Cruise
Control
If
Jis on when not in use, it
could get pressed and go into
ACC when not desired. Keep
Joff when cruise is not
being used.
Select the set speed desired
for ACC. This is the vehicle
speed when no vehicle is
detected in your path.
While the vehicle is moving,
ACC will not set at a speed
below a minimum speed,
although it can be resumed.
If equipped with Super Cruise,
this minimum speed is 5 km/h
(3 mph), otherwise, it is
25 km/h (15 mph). The minimum
allowable set speed is 25 km/h
(15 mph).

overridden, the ACC
indicator will turn blue on the
instrument cluster.
.Press and hold RES+ until
the desired set speed is
displayed, then release it.
.To increase speed in smaller
increments, press RES+ to
the first detent. For each
press, the vehicle goes
about 1 km/h (1 mph) faster.
.To increase speed in larger
increments, press RES+ to
the second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed
increases to the next 5 km/h
(5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be
increased while the vehicle is
stopped if:
.stopped with the brake
pedal applied, press RES+
until the desired set speed is
displayed.
.ACC is holding the vehicle at
a stop and there is another
vehicle directly ahead,
pressing RES+ will increase
the set speed.
.and when pressing RES+
there is no longer a vehicle
ahead or the vehicle ahead is
pulling away and the brake is
not applied with cause the
ACC to resume.
When it is determined that
there is no vehicle ahead or
the vehicle ahead is beyond
the selected following gap,
then the vehicle speed will
increase to the set speed.
Reducing Speed While ACC Is
at a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do
one of the following:
.Use the brake to get to the
desired lower speed.
Release the brake and press
SET–. The vehicle will now
cruise at the lower speed.
.Press and hold SET– until
the desired lower speed is
reached, then release it.
.To decrease speed in
smaller increments, press
SET− to the first detent. For
each press, the vehicle goes
about 1 km/h or (1 mph)
slower.
.To decrease speed in larger
increments, press SET− to
the second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed
decreases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be
decreased while the vehicle is
stopped.
If stopped with the brake
applied, press or hold SET−
until the desired set speed is
displayed.
Selecting the Follow
Distance Gap
When a slower moving vehicle
is detected ahead within the
selected following gap, ACC

2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating 231
Following distance gap will
return to the original selection
after hold.
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

braking when passing a
vehicle or performing a lane
change. Always be ready to
manually accelerate or brake
to complete the pass or lane
change.
Stationary or Very
Slow-Moving Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and
react to stopped or
slow-moving vehicles ahead
of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected
moving. This can occur in
stop-and-go traffic or when
a vehicle suddenly appears
due to a vehicle ahead
changing lanes. Your vehicle
may not stop and could
cause a crash. Use caution
when using ACC. Your (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
complete attention is always
required while driving and
you should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects
Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty
detecting the following
objects:
.Vehicles with cargo
extending from the back end.
.Non-standard shaped
vehicles, such as vehicle
transport, vehicles with a
side car fitted, or horse
carriages.
.Objects that are close to the
front of your vehicle.
ACC Automatically
Disengages
ACC may automatically
disengage and the driver will
need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak/ESC
system has activated or
been disabled.
.There is a fault in the
system.
.The radar falsely reports
blockage when driving in a
desert or remote area with
no other vehicles or
roadside objects.
.A DIC message may display
to indicate that ACC is
temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn
white when ACC is no longer
active.
In some cases, when ACC is
temporarily unavailable,
regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between
ACC and Regular Cruise
Control” previously in this
section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.

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

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
(Continued)
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.
