place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat

distance between you and
the driver in front of you.

Driving and Operating 279
Without Head-Up Display
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 0230. Approaching and Following a
Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator is
in the instrument cluster and
HUD display, if equipped.
The vehicle ahead indicator
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 the
vehicle in front at the selected
follow gap. The vehicle speed
increases or decreases to
follow the vehicle in front of
you, but will not exceed the
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

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”.
When the vehicle ahead drives
away, ACC resumes
automatically if the stop was
brief. 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
0264.
To release the EPB, press the
accelerator pedal.
A DIC warning message may
display indicating to shift to
P (Park) before exiting the
vehicle. See Vehicle Messages
0 143.
{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
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 off the ignition
before leaving the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal
while ACC is active, the ACC
indicator turns blue on the
instrument cluster and in the
HUD (if equipped) to indicate
that automatic braking will not
occur. ACC will resume
operation when the
accelerator pedal is not being
pressed.
{Warning
The ACC will not
automatically apply the
brakes if your foot is resting (Continued)
