Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped)

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL –
INFORMATION MESSAGES - VEHICLES
WITH: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WITH STOP AND GONote:Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all messages
display or are available.Note:The system could abbreviate or
shorten certain messages depending upon
which cluster type you have.
Action Message
A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging. Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation.
Conditions exist preventing the system from being available. Adaptive Cruise Not Available
You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility due to inclement weather or ice, mud,
or water in front of the radar. You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this. Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor
Blocked See Manual
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual
block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false
blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicle.
You have selected normal cruise control. The system does not brake or react to traffic. Normal Cruise Active Adaptive Braking Off
Displays when the adaptive cruise control is going to cancel and you must take control. Adaptive Cruise - Driver Resume Control
Displays when the vehicle speed is too slow to activate the adaptive cruise control and there is
no lead vehicle in range. Adaptive Cruise Speed Too Low to
Activate

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
WARNING: Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving.
WARNING: The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between 4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.
The system turns on when you start the
engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of reverse
(R).
