STARTING AND OPERATING 141 The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise Control without erasing the set speed from memory: NOTE: WARNING! If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed the original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the speed of the vehicle ahead. The ACC system: Vehicle parking brake is applied Stability event occurs Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica Engine overspeed occurs Pushing the on/off button, or placing the ignition in the OFF position, erases the set speed from memory. A DAPTIVE C RUISE C ONTROL (ACC) tions to the vehicle will affect the performance of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli sion Warning system. Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance condi tions. Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not detect vehi 4 cles directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature selected Ъ page406.
Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety system and not designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control function performs differently if your vehicle is not equipped with ACC Ъ page139. WARNING! Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve nience system. It is not a substitute for active driver involvement.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road condi tions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn ings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury. Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop while following a target vehicle and hold the vehicle for approximately two seconds in the stop position. At this point, there will be an “ACC may cancel soon” chime and warning to the driver.
When ACC is cancelled, the system will release the brakes and the driver must take over braking. The system can be resumed when the target vehicle drives off by releasing the brake and pushing the resume button on the steering wheel. ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need to reset your speed. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you to maintain a set speed. (Continued) (Continued)
