ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,detection issues can occur due to theroad infrastructures, for example bridges,tunnels and safety barriers. In thesecases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening,if required.
WARNING: If the systemmalfunctions, have your vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
WARNING: Large contrasts inoutside lighting can limit sensorperformance.
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 movingvehicles below 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 samelane.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly if the sensor is blocked.Keep the windshield free fromobstruction.
WARNING: The sensor mayincorrectly track lane markings as otherstructures or objects. This can result ina false or missed warning.
Camera.1.
Radar sensor.2.
The camera is on the windshield behindthe interior mirror.
The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:You cannot see the sensor. It isbehind a 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 cannotdetect a vehicle ahead and does notfunction. See Adaptive Cruise Control– Information Messages (page 354).

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.It may not detect vehicles at all or detecta vehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle image doesnot illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.
Detection Issues Can Occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake lateor unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs, theradar-sensing zone may change. This couldcause missed or false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires aclear view of the road by the windshieldcamera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.
SWITCHING ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steeringwheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOn
Press the button to activate thesystem. When the systemactivates, the set speed is equalto whichever is greater, the current vehiclespeed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or20 km/h when in metric units. If the speedis too low, or other conditions are notcorrect for adaptive cruise controlactivation, the system enters standbymode. When you are below 15 mph whenin imperial units or 20 km/h when in metricunits, adaptive cruise control does notactivate unless you are following anothervehicle.
The indicator, current gap setting and setspeed appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.

Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOff
Press the button when thesystem is in standby mode orswitch the ignition off.
Note:When you switch the system off, theset speed clears.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION
The system may cancel if:
•The tires lose traction.
•You apply the parking brake.
The system may cancel and set the parkingbrake if:
•You unbuckle the seatbelt and openthe driver door after adaptive cruisecontrol stops your vehicle.
•Adaptive cruise control holds yourvehicle at a stop continuously for morethan three minutes.
The system may deactivate or preventactivating when requested if:
•The vehicle has a blocked sensor.
•The brake temperature is too high.
•There is a failure in the system or arelated system.
SETTING THE ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL SPEED
Drive to the speed you prefer.
Press the SET+ or SET- buttonsto set the current speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The indicator, current gap setting and setspeed appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.
A vehicle image illuminates if there is avehicle detected in front of you.
Note:When adaptive cruise control isactive, the speedometer may vary slightlyfrom the set speed displayed in theinstrument cluster display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speedfrom a Complete Stop
Press the SET+ or SET- buttonswhile keeping the brake pedalfully depressed.
The set speed adjusts to 20 km/h when inmetric units or 15 mph when in imperialunits.
The indicator, current gap setting and setspeed appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.
Note:The system activates from acomplete stop only when it detects a leadvehicle in close proximity.

Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.Adaptive Cruise NotAvailable
You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility dueto inclement weather or ice, mud, or water in front of the radar.You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.
Adaptive Cruise NotAvailable SensorBlocked See ManualDue to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get ablockage warning with no actual block. This happens, forexample, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments.A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after yourestart your vehicle.

Note:Your vehicle reverts to normal modeeach time you start it. If you shut yourvehicle off in a drive mode other thannormal mode, at startup the instrumentcluster screen displays a pop-up asking ifyou would like to return to your last useddrive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,your vehicle returns to the last selected drivemode and the default four-wheel drivelinesetting associated with that drive mode. Ifyou select no, your vehicle remains in normalmode and the default four-wheel drivelinesetting associated with that drive mode. Ifyou do not select yes or no, the pop-upmessage times out, your vehicle remains innormal mode, and the four-wheel drivelinesetting remains in its last used setting.
Note:Do not use the electronic lockingdifferential on dry, hard surfaces. Doing soproduces excessive noise, vibration andincreases tire wear. See Electronic LockingDifferential (page 284).
