Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your vehicle
will not decelerate automatically to a
stop, nor will your vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a crash without
driver intervention. Always apply the brakes
when necessary. Failing to do so may result
in a crash, serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning or
a delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain a preset gap distance. The distance
setting is adjustable.
A vehicle graphic illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
To help you pass while adaptive cruise
control is active, when you switch on your
left turn signal, you may experience a small
temporary acceleration.
The vehicle will maintain a constant distance
between the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20
km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking which
the system can apply is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an audible
warning will sound while the system
continues to brake. This is accompanied by
a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
