Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driv-
ing convenience provided by cruise control while
traveling on highways and major roadways. How-
ever, it is not a safety system and not designed to
prevent collisions. Speed Control function per-
forms differently. Please refer to the proper sec-
tion within this chapter.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your cruise control. ACC
utilizes a radar sensor and a forward facing camera
designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead of
you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC
will apply limited braking or accelerate (not to
exceed the original set speed) automatically to
maintain a preset following distance, while match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for active
WARNING!
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic,
and weather conditions, vehicle speed, dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead; and, most impor-
tantly, brake operation to ensure safe opera-
tion of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious per-
sonal injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a dis-
abled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be lim-
ited upon adverse sight distance condi-
tions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
WARNING!
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a target vehicle and hold
the vehicle for approximately 3 minutes
in the stop position. If the target vehicle
does not start moving within 3 minutes
the parking brake will be activated, and
the ACC system will be cancelled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,
sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situ-
ations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep up-
hill or downhill slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed.
To Activate/Deactivate
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button. The ACC menu in the in-
strument cluster displays “ACC Ready.”
