Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator light is displayed
in the instrument cluster and the HUD,
if equipped. It only displays when a vehicle
is detected in your vehicle’s path and is
moving in the same direction. If the vehicle
ahead indicator light does not appear in the
instrument cluster, then ACC will not
respond to, or brake for, vehicles ahead.
While ACC is active, ACC will automatically
adjust your vehicle’s speed to follow a
detected vehicle ahead according to the
selected following gap setting. ACC may
decrease your vehicle’s cruise speed when
following a detected vehicle ahead that is
traveling slower than your ACC set speed.
ACC may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When ACC automatic braking is active, the
brake lamps will turn 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.

224 Driving and Operating
{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 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
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
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 mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down 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. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Alert Type > Adaptive Cruise Go
